When her rather deeply set tenor voice is heard singing a selection from "Pagliacci" off stage at the opening of the act, there is no one in the audience (unknowing) but who would make oath the tones belong to a man. "This Rose Brings My Heart to You," is the ballad number aung immediately afterwards by Miss Toye" in a soprano. That is followed by a piece from "Rigoletto," where the girl alternates in the two voices, and "The Rosary" is given for the final encore.
