At least that iia '.what .we expect! to hear, and from what other ; people ay who ; have heard Madame Alda, for she Is the one "who will. sing, to ns, we do not 'think that 'we can be disappointed. .'Madame 'Aida is- a soprano siager of the' Metropolitan Opera Company :the greatest opera company in "America. ' She is called . the . Prima "Donna of 'that - company, which lis simply the" Italian for ?First Lady.'! She was it born 'In t New -Zealand. "Her i parents .are English. Fame, did not come tapping at her window; she knew she could sing and liked to sing and then she .worked, and after a long,' hard time, ahe has "become acknowledged as an artist of song. 'The critics,, or people that have heard' her, who can, judge singing, say; her voice is very rich. and very sweet iAmLpeople who 'have ' known' her, --say ihe'is a very lovely ,'lady too, and does many, . many things to help other people. j One time - she organized a '.benefit concern!,' the money from which vwas to go toward providing musical entertainments for '.the Iboys of -Uncle 'Sam's ;nayy, and ' how much do . you thing they -made 'from tha$ concert? Wrong. 'They madeJ47,ooo. '.The program '.hasn't -appeared as yet, :eut we think; there vwill ..be all kinds, of soags.on. it that we win be.' so, glad to hear, especially . when! Madame Alda sings ithem ' to -us Probably .she will sing" the "Marseillaise," which we can not hear too often. .
