In our time we have known many sopranos.

We are now wondering if Miss Oneill is a Coloratura Soprano in the style of Lily Pons or Ruth Swenson.

Judging from what we can see in the photos, Miss O'Neill seems to have a body structure which would provide her great power and range.

Lily Pons had a rather small but angelic voice, and Ruth Swenson a much larger, exciting delivery.

What is most impressive about these photos is that they have captured the light of the soul of this woman.

In addition to the spirit in the eyes, there is a warmth of personality projected as well.

No wonder this professional was willing to subject herself to the photographer's camera.

We will definitely keep this photographer in mind as we go about our daily duties.

We have in the past had performers ask us about where to find a competent photographer. We now know.
