Mr.. Gwilym Miles the baritone engaged by
| the symphony orchestra for their coming con-
| cert, has achieved wonderful success in musical
| circles within comparatively short time \
few years ago he was st, Louis boy, singing
| here and there at various churches until he was
| accidentally heard by New York teacher of
note who, realizing the beauty OF his voice,
| took him in hand for few years and the result
was surprising. Today he is finished artist,
| making friends anew wherever he is heard The
Boston Globe OF recent date says: "Next to
| Nordca the honors fell to Gwilym Miles, whose
| singing of 80 Star of Eve" from Tannhauser,
was a bit of beautiful vocalization, achieved
| with great care and yet with no sense OF la
| bored effort" Mr. Miles will be accompanied
! here by the entire symphony orchestra Of over
| sixty musicians. Among other numbers he will
| sing an aria from Faust" and 80 Star of Evc,'
| mentioned above,

almost empty benches. Today, Mr.. Bauer and
