HONORS FOR MISS I.YNE.
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.

last night.
