Gladys Ripley
LADYS RIPLEY, the English contralto, has been broadcasting some very pleasant singing lately. Her choice of songs, however, is hardly in the same class as her singing; in one week she
gave three groups which contained more contralto warhorses than I had thought it possible for any singer to pick. The four steeds which opened her concert from 2YA on Thursday were all heard again from 2XN on Saturday. This might have been a good thing if they had been songs which were a little new and would need a rehearing; but as they included Saint-Saen’s Oh Love From Thy Power, the Carmen Sequidille, and Bemberg’s Hindoo Song, the choice displayed lack of enterprise.
