Born in Utah, in a little town called M ercur, the greater portion of her early life was spent in travelling about the west for her father was a m ining engineer whose work took him to all parts of the West, Her more formal education was obtained in South­ ern California and it was there that she decided to become a singer. She spent five years in Milan, Italy, studying voice, hut her work t h e e was cut short by the depression and she returned home to teach. This training in voice develop­ ed in her a desire for perfection in w hatever she did and that de­ sire for perfect beauty is appar­ ent In her work today.
