„Miss Michot held the pitch perfectly“
Editorial content. „Hezekiah Hirams Hears Strand Music.
IT WAS Sunday night, October 25, when we arrived
at the spacious portals of the Strand lobby.“ (...)
„After the Topical Review, which was played vigorously
but not always in time with the marching soldiers,
Hirams broke out again.
,Wal, I swan, if that ain‘t one of the usher gals up there
asingin´ that Down in Mobile song.´
,Not Down in Mobile, Hez, but La Donna E Mobile from
the opera Rigoletto, we replied.
,Be that as it may, it sounds mighty like a man dressed
up like a woman to me´, he said.
,This lady, old friend, is a female tenor and sings the great
arias from grand opera as easily as Caruso. Watch her breathing,
note her clear enunciation, her diction, and clean–cut attacks.
Isn´t she wonderful?´ we queried.
He did not reply, for at that moment
Miss Jane Holden finished her song and the audience simply
screamed their applause. It was truly an ovation and
merited indeed. Miss Holden´s voice is remarkable and her
singing portrays the highest technical form without
the usual machine–like precision that take away soulfulness.
Another real artiste, Alys Michot, rendered the Bell
Song from Lakme and proved herself most adept in coloratura
roles. The opening cadenza is one of the biggest things
in opera because of its long duration without accompaniment.
Many of the noted singers fall below the key before
they reach the song proper, but Miss Michot held the pitch
perfectly.“ (...)
Strand, Broadway and 47th Street, New York.
