Miss Flanders is a soprano of the greatest distinction, and unques- tiona bly, is the most notable recruit to the concert from the grand opera stage. It is not generally known that the United States lays claim to this brilliant a,rtiste and fair daughter, but il is Q. fact that though her par ents were Russian and Belgian, she was born in California. She is olc of the most beautiful women. as well as one of the most beautiful singers. on the native stage, and last year, at a single recital at Carnegie Hall she won the highest honors and stimu- lated the Eeenes- interest to hear her again.
