She exhibited a natural coloratura voice so flexible and sure that critics forgave her the occasional tones which were metallic and edgy. Proud Father Salvatore Tumminia found that business picked up following his daughter's success. Two days after her début Tenor Schipa climbed into Barber Tumminia's chair, let him lather his face while pretty Daughter Josephine trilled...
