least-a cantatrice of glorious runs and
trHfs. with an occasional false note to
vary the moHotony of her song She is
essentially consummate actress, whose
lines are delivered in song and whose
story is portrayed as it is sung with
exquisite art. She has a anique and
attractive personality, voice Of con-
tralto quality. rich. clear and beautiful
which she modulates with wonderful
tact. But her voice is but a means to
an end and that end Is to enhance the
effectiveness of her dramatic perform
ance.
She appears in the highly picturesque
costumes of the Russian peasant, with
dash and independence characteristic
of the Slav. and her program consists
mainly Of Russian folksongs. some of
them with an irresistible rhythm and
tempo.
Among her songs OF :Hestarday sft-
crnoon were TWO Quaint and pretty
