PAOLI, A.—PARETO, G. (See ‘‘ Famous Artists of Europe ay PATTI, ADELINA, Soprano
’ Adelina Patti spent so much of her youth in this country that she is frequently spoken of as an American. As a matter of fact, she was born in Madrid, Spain, February 19, 1843. Her father, anxious to try his fortunes in the new world, came here when Adelina was ; ten years old, and became manager of the Italian Opera House in Chambers Street, New York. At the age of sixteen Patti made her operatic début in New York, on November 24, 1859, in Lucia and achieved a tremendous success. Patti's further career was a wonderful one, and the mere recital of her tiumphs would fill a volume. No other singer was ever so long before the public and none was ever so successful in preserving an unimpaired voice. Mme. Patti has sung for the Victor some of the beloved old songs with which she has delighted millions of her hearers in past years.

‘ PIETRACEWSKA (See “‘ Famous Artists of Europe ’’) PLANCON, POL, Bass (Plan-sohn’ ) (nasa!)
This accomplished and popular singer was born in the Ardennes, where his boyhood was spent. His father did not sympathize with his professional ambitions, intending him for a merchant. Incurring the displeasure of his family, he entered the Ecole Duprez through the influence of Ritter. Duprez, who was then the greatest living teacher of diction, taught young Plancon in the most thorough manner, and no artist of the present generation sang with more artistic finish, and with more careful attention to enunciation, phrasing and expression. His American début took place at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, during the season 1893-94.
The death in August, 1914, of this great artist was greatly regretted by a host of music-lovers throughout the world. It is fortunate that his Victor records will still enable the present and future generations to hear this great voice in all its beauty and power.
