VICTOR RED SEAL RECORDS 57,
Two Records by JEANNE GERVILLE-REACHE Contralto

GervilleRéache has selected two complete novelties for her first Victor engagement—an air from one of Gounod’s early operas never heard in America; and the beautiful ‘Va’ laisse couler’’ from Massenet’s Werther, soon to be revived on this side.
This accomplished young artist is a native of the Basque country in southwest France. Her mother was Spanish, while her father was French, being long a Colonial Governor of Guadaloupe.
