Alice Zeffelli, vocal attraction of

whose distinguished career the press
agent was apparently unfamiliar, was
borne in Monte Carlo and made her
debut there as Gilda in "RigolettO"

After coming to America she was
for many years with the Chicago
Opera Company and during that time
has sung all the leading roles. even
achieving success in the famous Mary
Garden roles.
She has sung many times at the
Opera, Comique in Paris, and with
Challapin at Deauville, as we'll as
with Muratore, Tita Ruffo and other
big stars. She also sang Nine. Butter

She was a pupil of Jean de Reske
and of Clement and was close friend
OF the late Queen of Rumania as well
as of our own Victor Herbert.
