THIS is the story of Washington's s
= possible prima donna of future
years. Director Edouard Albion has
proved Ey the finding of Dorothy DaV-
enport, the 16-year-old high school
student with a voice Of a remarkable
range and quality, that Kansas City is
not the only town in the United States
that can produce Marion TalleY. To
be sure, Miss Davenport is only at the
point in her career that Miss Talley
had reached several years ago, but at
least she has voice that has won un-
stinted admiration for it's sheer exist
ence and that gives prospects of de-
veloping into an exquisite medium for
coloratura literature with proper and
long enough training.
1t all started this way: Mr.. Albion,
we'll known for his persisting and in
creasingly successful efforts against
many obstacles in establishing the
Washington Opera Co. made up
his mind that in all due logicalness
there should be a prima donna some
where in Washington-a musical Gin
derella whose golden voice would fit
the key to the door of opportunity
that he might open it for her and
make a grand opera star of a Gin
derella.
So he announced, in true fairy-tale
fashion, that voice trials would be held
to find this future prima donna. Many
| were the applicants who came, and
three were found who had beautiful
voices of great promise. One was
Charlotte Hartman, young contral-
to, who is also an earnest student and
has already achieved a fine back
ground of training and recital expert
ence. A second singer was Dorothy
Neff Tyler. a soprano with a lovely
voice. The third was true Cinder-
ella. who answered the fairy-tale de-
scription in every detail and had a
| voice so clear and firm in it's high
, notes that she proved to be in a class
unique. And that was Dorothy Dav-
export. She was such a quiet, unob-
trusive little girl, with her long curls
| mussed from a windy day spent in
high school lessons and a tramp to
the Auditorium to attend the trials,
that when she asked Mrs. Albion for
a chance to try, that lady granted it
with hesitation, fearing it might mean
| a waste Of time at the end OF a rather
tedious session Of trials. However of
