Sykora has opened the door for artists like Misha Elman and Shumann-Heink." The New York critics were very enthusiastic on his first appearance in that city. The New York Evening Post says, "He is an artist of unusual gifts." The New York Evening Globe says, "He possesses exceptional singing, volum- inous and sweet tone and technically he is probably without a peer in the world today." We would be fortunate to have him appear here alone but since Miss Swarthout is with him we are doubly fortunate. Miss Swarthout has appeared with the Min- neapolis Symphony Orchestra four times, the last in December. The Minneapolis Tribune says of her—"It is not the rule of the orchestral management to bring the same soloist to par- ticipate in these concerts in successive years; but, in the case of Gladys Swarthout, there was ample justification for so doing."
