Singing.
Daisy Leon got away to a slow start, but a little later turned loose songs that swept her into instantaneous favor, and when she had finished, giving her voice full play, from high register to the low, the audience was wanting more. "Straight" numbers appear her best bet, although she used a song about every girl wants to marry a soldier at the opening that barely got a ripple, and there was little better reward for her "second," with her "Wearin' Blues" number registering fairly well. But the operatic scope lifted her from the depths, and her hit was unquestioned from that moment on until the finish. Miss Leon should profit from what happened at the American; should reframe her repertoire and make the best of it. Her voice is ample to carry her over nicely. A selection of songs with more care would be undeniably advantageous.
