"Toronto, in fact, is quíta mad over her," declares a prominent mem- ber of the Women's Musical Club of Vancouver, "And no wonder," she adds, "for surely there is no finer singer in all the world to-day than Florence Austral She is often referred to as Melba's suc- cesor, but Melba's voice never had the depth and warmth that Aus- tral's bas."

There is no more enthusiastic ad- mirer of Austral's voice than Hec ter Charlesworth, the dean of Cana- dian music critics, whom the Women's Canadian Club of Vancou- ver honoured a few months ago, while he was a visitor here.

Describing his first impression of Austral's singing, Mr. Charlesworth wrote:

M. Gaston Ravel, the producer, said that it was impossible to work with her.. "I had an appointment with her at the costumier's the other day for 9.30 H.M.," he declared.

"After two telephone messages she kept us waiting till 5 o'clock.

"A few days later we waited in vain for her at the studio, and when I remonstrated she said she would attend the studio only when it suit ed her."

M.
