AN AMERICAN PRIMA DONNA.

Miss Sybil Sanderson, the beautiful young California girl whose remarkably melodious voice created a sensation in San Francisco four or five years ago, when she was an amateur, has, according to the London Times’ Brussels correspondent, achieved a success in the latter city in the opera “Esclarmonde,” written expressly for her by Massenet, whose “Don Caesar de Bazan” and “Le Hoi de Lahore” have been frequently heard in this country. Miss Sanderson made her operatic debut two years ago i i “Eadarmonde*

and was highly praised by the French critics. Her voice is said to be of a quality that will insure her a high rank among operatic stars.
