Chaliapin Has ''Tea"
AS a Voice SoOtl1er

Come singers keep raw eggs in
their dressing rooms and swaI-
low one or two during each per-
Torrance. Some prefer lozcnges
or just plain white vaseline. Stin
others prefer glass Of wine for
the same purpose. They believe
this to be beneficial to their
threats.

fers tea. A huge thermos bottle
filled with tea accompanies him
on every trip to the theater. lie
is never without tea in his dress

steaming liquid in the other,
ready to hand them to the singer
the minute he leaves the stage.

Ruth Peter Sings

MILESTONES are being marked
in the career Of Ruth Peter,
young Washington soprano. The
time when the student energies
into professional ream is al.
ways interesting. It's a fluctuat-
ing time. Sometimes they almost
reach 1t and then step back.
Ruth Peter has ASSUMED, only
this year, the position Of church
soloist in one Of the leading choirs
of the city. Last week she sang
in concert at the willard, In the
small ballroom. Her voice rings
clear and true and into It has
come that tender appeal that
drives her singing to the heart.
Her singing Of Handel's ANGELS
Ever Bright and Fair" was a fin
ished bit Of artistry, the kind Of
delicate variance in tone quality
that bespeaks the genuine artist.
