es + Sir-When I read the letter of "Grateful'to America" I was surprised at his viewpoint, as many others must have been. How can he dare to compare the voice of Lanza with that of Caruso, and go so far as to say he has a voice superior to Caruso’s? There are many singers in the world tdday with voices which rival Lanza easily. Take Gigli, Bjorling, Schipa, for instance, to name but a few. We-can hear Caruso only on pre-electric recording, but even so his voicé is that of profound beauty. Perhaps when your correspondent has seen more films like La Traviata he will take another outlook on the merits of voices.
