" ] ' . ~ , • |-|.r..- ----.——...... ■hVi'iiimI Chicago, Feb. —Xot bo many yearn ago a "vast" audience for a singer who had attained prominence consisted of something like 5,000 per sons. It's a different story today, though now that the radio is being utilized so extensively by such artists. A "vast" audience for radio perform ers easily reaches the million mark. That this Is a fact is borne out by thousands of letters which Miss Flor ence Macbeth, coloratura of the Chi cago Civic Opera company, received recently from radio fans, following her rendition of several songs on a Sunday evening program broadcast from a Chicago station. This deluge of mall contained letters of appre ciation from persons In all walks of life. Miss Macbeth's efforts that eve ning elicited a quick response from Helen E. Vellor, of Huntington, Ixing Island, which told of the ‘‘remark able clearness” with which the so prano's voice was carried by the ether waves. B. G. Cassett, of San Jose, Cal., wrote that he “got” Miss Mac beth's concert "perfectly.” Fifty per cent of the letters re ceived referred to Miss Macbeth, well-known coloratura soprano, as “the girl with the radio voice." Hundreds of those who “penned” their thanks to Miss Macbeth were elderly persons who eald the radio and the earnestness of those who do their ,!stuff” for the benefit of this vast Invisible audience had given them a new outlook upon life.
