Mr. Riener first heard Miss Brice
in 1914. Singing in a small, private
recital, he was so impressed with
the beauty of her voice that he
engaged her Immediately to sing
| with the Pittsburgh Symphony.
In the summer of l945, he recalled
her for another engagement, this
time broadcasting over a major
network, and after her third per-

reinforce his prognostication, he
enose Miss Brice as soloist at a
Stadium Concert in New York
