No artist. in = long time, has been received
with such marked favor A. Mons De SIEVE.
At his appearance here last summer, the
audience seemed never to be satisfied with
listening to him, and every number of his
was followed by applause upon applause, till
he was obliged to respond second and third
time and would no longer humor his
hearers. He may not be greater
artist than Camilla Urso, but he
ha. another style and his stormy, pas
sionate music has a thrilling and fascinating
effect upon his listeners. Those who heard
him before are most eager to hear him again,
and if we may judge from the interest shown
in his coming, Granite Hall will be crowded
