Max Heinrich Coming Wednesday
April 26.

April 26.
Several years ago number of our
citizens attended very fine concert
In Milwaukee, at which the eminent
Boston singer, Max Heinrich, ap-
peared as soloist. Not one of those
who heard him has ever been able to
forget the singer, nor his singing, so
deep was the impression he made on
everybody. There are few singers
whose singing is as descriptive of the
| sentiment contained in the words as
Max Heinrich's. He never makes
loud singing or tone production an
aim to please. and yet no singer of
ballads or lyric songs can thrill his
hearers as Max Heinrich does. His
voice is a powerful baritone and were
he to use it merely to display strength
and volume of tone he could drown
| almost any voice. But oh, what
pity it would be were he to consider
the above quality essential to the sue
cess OF a singer! The writer of these
lines cannot forego the pleasure of
giving the readers of this paper de-
scription of Max Heinrich's singing.
for there are but few who have any
idea of his style and the treat that is
in store for them. If each one knew
what he would miss by staying away
from the coming concert, at Concordia
Opera house, on April 26, the audi
torlum OF said hall would be much too
small to hold all who would flock to
hear the stories our wonderful Max
Heinrich will tell them In song. 1t
may be the first and last time that we
shall have such an opportunity as the
coming one in Watertown The Con-
cordia society expects no financial
gain, and IN fact those who ventured
this undertaking did it with most
unselfsh purpose.
Those who do not care to under
stand the words, and merely want
to hear voice which will ring with
dramatic power through the opera
house, must not go to hear the unsur-
passed Max Heinrich. But those who
care to listen to a strong, plaintive,
humorous, dramatic voice, full of |
pathos, made all the sweeter and |
thrilling the hearts of everyone all |
the more because it is sung and not |
spoken, must not fail to hear Max !
Heinrich. His enunciation is perfect
ana not one wQrQ is lost TO his audi
ence. All who love song for the
story it tells ought not to fail to go
to the concert on the Goth inst. Several
persons have been heard to say that
it must be very tedious to listen TO
one voi,e almost the entire evening.
The writer of this is convinced that the
audience will endeavor to hear en-
cores of their favorite before they will
allow him to retire.
Mr.. Heinrich is at the present in
Chicago, where he is filing an en-
gagement, and will appear at the Pabst
theatre, Milwaukee, on April 27, un-
der the auspices of the Lyric Glee
club.
Following is the program for the
second grand concert at the Con-
cordia Opera house or Wednesday
evening, April 26. It is made up of beau
thul compositions, half of them being
English and the other half German.
