BESSIE ABOTT Soprano
Bessie Abott began her musical career a few years ago in light opera, but although in a measure successful, she was ambitious and never ceased studying. She made her début at the Opéra in ‘* Romeo and Juliette’’ with success, singing there two seasons.
Miss Abott’s voice is pure and sweet, her tones possessing the delightful freshness of youth. Her upper notes are exquisite in their beauty and clearness, while her command of colorature shows how faithfully she has studied.

Three Records by RUFFO
Titta Ruffo is said by the European and South American critics to be the greatest of Italian baritones; and his performance of Hamlet in Thomas’ opera is declared to be in every way a remarkable one. At the opening of the new Colon Opera House in Buenos Ayres, Hamlet was given, and such was the enthusiasm that the management was forced to temporarily abandon the advertised repertoire and give Thomas’ opera for several nights in succession.

The host of admirers of this famous Dutch artist, whose sonorous bass is now at its best, will be greatly pleased by the issue of this record of the dramatic air of Telramund. Mr. Van Rooy, whose fine impersonations of Wagnerian roles are familiar to opera goers, is always an effective Frederick, acting the part with the ruggedness it demands and singing the difficult music in the true Wagnerian style.
