All Washington society was there| to welcome the little Japanese prima donna and she more than lived up to expectations as to hLer fitness for! this role. She made an ideal Cho Cho | San and gave her interpretation all the little intimate touches that only & native of the Land of Cherry Blos- soms would instinctively put Into tne is delightful and she sang without effort. Her dramatic ability is develop- ¢d to a degree that is unusual for an opera singer. Especially in the aria cf did she rise to dramatic heights. The entire cast showed fine dramatic ability that added rauch to the charm of this pastellike opera.
