‘U E \ HANSAS TEACHER * WAY BEGONE STAR s Possibility as Future Prima Donna Winfleld, Kas., June 3 (® — A Kansas teacher who for many years taught music at Southwestern col- lege here has been added to the roster of future grand opera prima fionnas, The name of Madame Anna idora of Wintield, only American to ‘Dg at La Scala, the famous opera Aouse at Milan, Italy, is causing comment and speculation wherever music lovers heed the advent of new names and new voices. Madame Fiora is a dramatic so- prano. She was first noticed as a possible acquisition for an operatic impresario when she and her hus- band, Achille Fioramonti, Italian tenor, came to Winfield to teach. Since then she has been heard in the' leading musical cities of Ttaly, including Milan, Rome, Tavenna, Brescla, Como and Mantova. When La Scala opens next scason Madame Fiora will sing in Aida, Turandot, Travatore, Tosca, Cava- llera Rusticana, Forsa del Destino, and several other operas. Madame Fiora was born in the| Cossack country of Russia. Educated t the Moscow Conservatory of| fusic she was an entertainer for #e Russian soldiers on the western W'ront. Later she came to America in a grand opera company with her busband, and after a brief stay in New York they settled in Winfield, #nd taught music at Southwestern § college, Long before she had signed her Buropean contracts, those who Mard her in Kansas were convinced sie would soon be recognized by | musical managers. Arrangements are under way for her to sing in the Forum at Wichita, in Topeka and in Kansas City as soon as she is able to return to this country.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1927 GEORGIA MARSHES ! 00 NOT CHANGE to Progress Brunswick, Ga., June 3 (#—They do not change—“The Marshes of Glynn.” Gigantic in their miles of sweep along the coast line of Glynn county, | in southern Georgia, the marshes | defy the builders of man-made land | and remain as in the days when | SidneyLanier brought them world- | wide fame with his poem. The marshes are not simply bogs or morasses. They are densely cov- ered with rank grass. Green in summer, brown in winter, it gives the almost unending tidal flats the | appearance of a great sward, cut with symmetrical creeks and bays. Refuge is offered for countless sea fowl and birds, among these being the marsh hen, which builds its nest “on the watery sod.” Bor- dering the marshes on the land- ward side are.massive live oaks, some of them hundreds of years in age. Palms dot the shoreland, here and there. Aside from the poectical tached to the Marshes of Glynn, there are many traditions. They have heen the scene of several bat- tles figuring prominently in the early history of America. At the Battle of Bloody Marsh, General James Oglethorpe defeated large force of Spaniards and drove them back into Florida. In recent years bones of the slain Spaniards and bits of arms and metal accoutrements have been found. Only a short distance away is fa- mous Jekyl Island, an exclusive club resort of 100 of the richest men in America. On the mainland is the Wesley brought his message Methodism, Ancient buildings, crumbling in ruins, and many other historical objects add to the inter- est of the surroundings. The marshes are a shrine for many Americans who visit them on vacation tours, drawn by apprecia- tion of the poetry of Lanier.
