GIFTED RAISA, THE
STAR OF "GIOCONDA"

When richer tunes are builti
Raisa wit build them. So the crit-
ics are saying this season regard-
ing this dramatic soprano, whom !
Arturo Toscanini has rated as the
most gifted known to recorded mus-
ical history.
In volume Rosa Raisa, Chicago
Civic Opera prima donna, exceds
them all; in versatility she is the
equal of any, and the lighter pass-
ages, especially those of the finest
texture, may have been woven to
order for this voice of a thousand
colors.
"Raisa can sing anything,"is the
confident assertion of experts in
opera. Her appearance in the De-
troit season, Thursday evening,
Feb. 1I, .Gads her in one of her
favorite roles—the title part- in
"La Gioconda."
With matchless ease, Raisa's
voice fills any hall or theater. From
tones of mighty spIssalor rising on
swift wings of groat power above
any orchestra known to man, Reim
can shrink her voice to the projec-
tion ef a tiny note, whrse sweet ,
ness and resonance will barely car-
ry to the highest gallery seat in the
huge Masonic auditorium.
Man has never heard the full
measure of power this voice com-
mands, according to the veterans.
An old ant! pointed critic, a
crusty fellow and difficult is please,
described Itaisa's voice as the one
"you will remember a lifetime."
Centuries of background, the
qualities her forebears, give the
Voice a radiant glow. The perse-
Mition of her race, the burdens they
have borne, the struggles they have
Made, the suffering they have en-
dured all are here as a part of the
warp and woof of her glorious
Voice.
Year by year it has grown in col-
or, depth and warmth, just as
Raisa herself has grown in the
stature of womanhood. Generous
to a fault, heedless of herself, com-
pletely lacking in that temperament
which ruins the dispositions of any
Nirho come too often in contact with
it, loyal to the core, trusted and
trustworthy, it is no wonder the
analysts of character will tell you,
that this woman with the great
voice is an artist of unsurpassed
excellence.

success with the Metropolitan
Opera in New York City. She

Ponchiello, "Suicidio." After the
intermission the orchestra plays
the suite "Catalonia," by Albenis,
and then two charming short
numbers, "hispering of the Flow-

For hlim Aves's second appear-

"The Light," by Gratchaminoff.
The Wagner number will be sung
in German and the Grotchaninoff
number in French. Both of these

Mr. Galvani, who is a contribut-

Star" aria from 'Wagner's "Thann-
hauser," one of the loveliest cave-
tines in all literature for the bari-
tone and from which the singer
extracted its high lyric value and
its quality of tranquil drama. The
orchestral part of the hour's pro-
gram included: The "Robespierre"
overture of I.italff; Bizet's "L'Arie.
sienne" Suite; the famous lullaby
from Godard's "Jocelyn"; Welser's
"Oberon" overture and the "Lie.

New Measure.
The Oriole Theater offers a real

treat to its patrons.
During the week of Feb. 12 to
WASHINGTON — (J. T. A.)—
17, except on Friday of the week, Congressman Romjue of Missouri
introduced a bill in the House pur-
suant to Secretary of I.ahor Davis'
recent recommendation, providing
for the suspension for five years of
the annual quota immigration from
those countries which refuse to ac-
cept any alien ordered deported.
This bill might suspend the quota
immigration from Russia, Latvia,
Czecho-Slovakia and other coun-
tries.
Romjue's bill does not go as far
as Secretary Davis' recommenda-
tion. The secretary proposed that
all immigration from such coun-
tries be suspended, whereas this
hill provides for the suspension
ugly of the quota immigration. Ap-
parently non-quota immigrants
would still continue to be admit-
ted.
The House Immigration Commit.

of the alien deportation bill at an
CANTOR JOSEF ROSENBLATT executive meeting. The bill was
read and a few minor changes
