Goldvsky's N. E. Opera Theater
Production of Rossini's "The Turk
in Italy" at the Boston Opera
House, was discovered indie
pendently by two Boston music
editors who telephoned Boris
Goldovsky about her last spring.
She was driven in a tremendous
rush from Springfield, Mass,
where she lives to arrive Just in

couraging afternoon of unsatis-
factory additions Mr.. Goldovsky
wept when he heard her voice
and she won one of the two ma
tional scholarships for the Berk-
shire Music Center. The prom
ising new singer was educated
in the public schools of Spring
field, Mass. but did not begin
the study of music till in High
School. She was graduated from

er's high place among American
sopranos. The high praise of
critics was wholly justified by
her performance of last week.
Her voice is a well developed
and pleasing mezzo soprano, the
rich tones in the lower register
suggesting a contralto. She
sings with apparent ease and
there are no Gnannerisms or
gIimaceS to disturb the listener.
Bronze in color and gowned in
Shimmering ice blue satin,
sleeveless, highbacked and decol-
lete front, with full buoffant
trailing skirt, setting off a fine,
