Miss Reeve is English London
knows her both as a musical conn
edy star and as a head1iner in
the halls. She is one of the very
small number of artists actually
beloved by British audiences Her
globe trotting propensities have
failed to dim her esteem at home.
There she enjoys the lasting favor
which only England bestows on
its stage celebrities, a favor equal
to that accorded her heroes. This
favor extends to the farthest cor
ners OF the civilized world. South
Africa. New Zealand and Aus
tralia all look upon Miss Reeve
as their very own.
Miss Reeve sings songs that are
grave and gay. She has an ex-
tensive repertoire built up of
numbers picked up here and
there and composed especially for
her. It is a repertoire that en-
ables her to express lyricaIly al
most every emotion. Her faculty
for expressing these emotions is
uncanny. She breathes life and
character into every one of her
delineations She is an indiYiduaE
list. She has created a style of
her own. Miss Reeve has a host
Of admirers in America, most of
whom know her only by name.

Of this supremacy.
So long have been patient under the label of
