popularity:
Patterson Greene of the Los An

Lucia" Sew coloraturas Of the day

she brings, in addition to vocal abil-
ity, her rare gifts of personal beauty
and dramatic ability"
Carl Bronson of the Los Angeles
Evening Herald refers to the Mad

cadenced with dazzling technique and
her voice warm and responsive"
The Los Angeles Daily Times says
among other things, Miss Lucchese's
voice has a crystal clearness and she
sang the difficult arias and florid pas
sages with consummate ease"
Roy Harris of the Illustrated Daily

which unifies her body and voice into
spontaneous spirit; and Tom Mar.
