Rosa Lee Tyler

Date:
Colored soprano. Like most of these people when they attempt classical singing, she falls decidedly short. Seems beyond the Negro Race to do this. Her voice is metallic and screechy and her make-up decidedly bad as she powders up considerably in order to disguise the fact that she is a Negro, but I shall endeavor to have her discontinue. 9 min, in one, 3 shows.
