Phyllis Neilson-Terry

Singing and poetry recitation.
Last year when Phyllis Nellson-Terry appeared here, it was as a Shakespearean actress, and she made a very good impression. She was equally well received this time as a vocaliste. She did three songs, only one popular, and drew enough applause to tempt her back to recite a patriotic poem. The Englishwoman is a real class turn, though a bit stilted for vaudeville. She would find it much easier to get her audience if she would get away from the mannerism of the tragedienne. She possesses a splendid voice, highly cultured, and although her enunciation is not good, the quality and exceptional range of her voice places her in the first rank of singing singles.
