Eastern musical journals had been
busy for several seasons singing the
praises of Miss Gianinni, and their
reprints included the most flattering
critical reviews of foreign papers.
This concert marked her Detroit de-
but and practically the entire mu-
sical colony had turned out to hear
and observe. They found a very dig-
nified and serious artist who has per-
haps no countermate on the present
concert stage; from all appearances
of either Italian or Jewish birth—
rather the latter, because I have
never known an Italian who could
sing German as does Miss Gianinni;
and an artist who is conscious every
moment of what she is doing and the
effects she wishes to obtain. Her
voice is neither large nor warm, and
wholly devoid of any emotional thrill.
It is a lovely organ as she uses it,
and has been admirably schooled un-
der the superior direction of Mar-
cella Sembrich. Breath control, dic-
tion and ease of tone production all
bespeak the ripened artist who has
much to show but little to give. Her
Italian and German lyrics were the
night's best offerings. She was less
successful in her English numbers,
although they were faultlessly sung;
and she was least successful in the
"Vissi tl' Arte" aria from "Tocsca."
The dramatic substrata wan lost to
her, and her attempt to picture the
final despair, ludicrous. Miss Gianin-
ni is essentialy a lyric artist and it
was evident that by temperament and
training the dramatic—even in smal-
ler, shorter forms—is not her forte.
She will bear rehearing in a smaller
hall, and that with the excellent
young Molly Bernstein, who provided
the most artistic accompaniments.

To build such a car in sufficient quantities as its merit commands, and at a price that Nvi II
give it widest sale, required the investment of millions of dollars in buildings and equip-
ment. That program is now completed.
And we arc now exhibiting the car for the first time.
And Now Also An Essex Super-Six,-
At a Price Within the Reach of Millions
The development of the New Hudson just
described led, also, to the creation of another
wonderful automobile—a counterpart in
general appearance, in smoothness, comfort,
quality. easy riding, and safety. It is the
New Essex Super-Six.
It, too, has stamina. It is capable of 50 miles
an hour all day long if you want that, yet
that is far below its maximum speed. It has
great flexibility. It is economical and re-
quires the minimum of attention.
The bodies are in keeping with its chassis—
beautiful in line. finish, upholstery, fittings,
and color. To those who require two auto-
mobiles, it makes the ideal companion of the
larger. Throughout, it matches in material
and workmanship the standard set in the
larger car.
The Essex Super-Six, now on display, will
sell at little more than you pay for any
"four."

Tests of a stock chassis under official observation established the record of 102.53 miles per
hour. But speed was not so much sought for as was the ability to maintain any wanted
speed for any length of time with compete comfort and safety to driver, passenger and car.
That mom a chassis comparable to such a motor. It meant a body suitable in beauty, finish
and comfort to such preeminent performance.
