Moonlight Inspires California Singer Ada Burdges
Miss Ada C. Burdges, praised by Madame Nordica, captivates with moonlit melodies that critics call exquisite. She refuses public airing to keep her songs intimate, saying the moonlight shines for her only in California and she wishes to enjoy them privately. Her father was minstrel William Cantel Byrdges and she is 25 with renowned technique and a touch described as leaving a kiss on every key.
