Singing.
Then came Yvette Rugel. She seems to have developed a single on this occasion that will get over in any house with any kind of company. Her encore bit is a distinctive novelty. It is the rendering of "Swanee River" entirely in minor, and if you have never heard her sing the number then you have never heard the song. Her opening on this occasion consists of several popular and semi-classical numbers worked into a delightful medley. She has a remarkable voice of genuine prima donna quality, and she now uses it most effectively.
