~_._WICTOR VICTROLA RED SEAL RECORDS _ TAMAGNO, FRANCESCO—Continued record and ring of a voice that is far away, how much stranger, how much more extraordinary it seems when we are able to recall from the world of shadows the sound of a voice that is still! Records of this famous artist are issued only by the Victor Company, Tamagno having agreed not to sing for any other company during his lifetime.

This artist was born in 1848 at Coventry, England, her parents being well-known actors. Her first appearance on the stage was made at the age of eight in “A Winter's Tale.” After several years with various stock organizations, she joined Henry Irving’s company, playing Katherine in ‘Taming of the Shrew,” and thus began the long association with this great actor which terminated only at his death in 1905. Miss Terry has recited for the Victor portions of the works in which she has made her greatest successes, and the series forms a most interesting souvenir of this noted actress.

Tetrazzini has made one of the greatest successes In operatic history in this country, and has met with a reception almost unparalleled. During her last operatic engagements, the great Manhattan and Metropolitan Opera ||* Houses in New York were crowded every time the famous ||* soprano appeared, and she has been greeted with a series || \\ of tremendous ovations. It is not the habit of blasé New ||: \\ York audiences to go wild over a singer, but the Tetrazzini ||‘. ° performances were the scenes of some most remarkable outbursts of enthusiasm. The management of the Tivoli Opera House in San Francisco first brought Tetrazzinito the attention of the English-speaking world. Other countries had already discovered in her work qualities of extreme excellence ; but it remained for San Francisco to make her ‘‘ world famous.” Her triumphs in London, New York and elsewhere are too well known to require further mention. : Tetrazzini's first concert tour, embracing twenty of the largest cities, was a succession of ovations. It is a wonderful voice with which this great soprano is electrifying her audiences; remarkable in its purity and great range, while her colorature work is extremely brilliant. It is perhaps enough to say here that this marvelous voice has been recorded in all
