Kansas City Girl Well Known In I.a Grande, a Iroiulslii-r Song Bird. A Paris dispatch of January 16, to the Kansas City Star, tells of the crowning success that has followed Miss Felicle Lyne, who three years ago spent a year In La Grande as the guest of her aiint, Mrs; F. E. Moore: Paris, Jan. 16. Another American song bird Is soaring high In the music world. She is Miss Felicle Lyne, a daughter of Dr. S. T. Lyne of Kansas City, who has been here a little more than a year studying under Mine. Mar ches!. Miss Lyne, 21 years old, has a lyric soprano voice of beautiful quali ty. Of her Mme. Marchesl says there Is only one person In the world who can trill as long Mme. Melba. Harry Higglns, director of the Co vent Garden opera,' London", was In Paris last week and sought Mme. Mar chesl for young recruits for his tune ful forces. Miss Lyne sang for Mr. Higglns and he offered her a contract for a long period. Although Miss Lyne has been studying for a compar atively short time, Mme. Marchesl Is certain a brilliant future is assured her. Thus Miss Lyne is following In the footsteps of Elizabeth Parkinson (Par klna), a Kansas City girl, too, whose fine career began In Covent Garden opera, and who is a favorite with Mel ba. Parklna became ill and was com pelled to retire from the operatic stage just after her first' success. .But she has recovered and Is on a tour of the world, appearing In the largo cities. She will be heard In America. Commenting on the above dispatch, the Kansas City Star says, locally: Miss Lyne left Kansas City for Paris in August, 1907. She Was graduated from Central high school when she was 17 years old. "The remarkable thing about Fell- cle's success Is the very short time In which she achieved It," said her father. Dr. S. T. Lyne, at the Virginia hotel last night.
