Miss Carus sang four songs in dainty and variegated fashion. With broad, heroic vocal phrasing she described the ecstasy of lovers holding hands for many, many hours. So impassioned were her tones that one dreamed she was working up to a "Tristan and Isolde" climax, when lo! she anti-climaxed into a baby voice and stated naively, "But they never said a word all the time"-- that is, of course, the taciturn hand-holders.
As a singer she does not harp on one set of tones nor one type and style of voice. Her style on the vaudeville stage is like shot silk- it shows a great many more colors and shows them unexpectedly than you could at first imagine.
