86 VICTOR RED SEAL RECORDS FRANCES ALDA, Soprano Mme. Alda has made a most pleasing impression in the role of Desdemona. A charming personality and great dramatic ability are quite evident in her portrayal of the devoted and injured wife of the jealous Moor. The soprano exhibits a rich and cultivated voice in the two Otello records she has made for the Victor. Mme. Alda will now make Victor records exclusively. Twelve-inch, with orchestra — $3.00 each In Italian 88213 Otello — Ave Maria Verdi 88214 Otello — Salce, salce {Willow Song) Verdi BLANCHE ARRAL, Soprano Mme. Arral, who has just finished a most successtul tour of Australia, was persuaded to break her journey to Europe long enough to give the Victor a number of very interesting records. Eight of these are presented here — the famous “ Czardas ” of Millocker’s, well re¬ membered from the days of opera comique ; the brilliant Traviata air, issued now for the first time at this price; and Mme. Arral’s favorite number, the intricate “ Bird Waltz,” by Varney, in which she gives a wonderful ex¬ hibition of voice flexibility, imitating the twitter of birds with skill and grace. Ten-inch, with orchestra — $1.00 each.
