THE MATINEE GIRL HEARS
JOSE SING AT KEITHS THEATRE.

There is a bigframed, big hearted.
blue-eyed boy--he will never be anything
else, and his friends are all glad Of it,
who sings nightly. and in a sweet high
soprano voice. at Keith's. 1t Is Richard
j. Jose, the most successful ballad singer
In the world
But besides his superb voice and the
many attractive qualities that have made
him popular all over the United States.
Mr. Jose has history that is not only
romantic and interesting, but IL also a
record which will forever stand TO his
credit as evidence OF an indomltable
will.
Thirty-four years ago I'm Cornwall.
England. young Jose's voice was first
heard Even I'm his infancy he was set
down as one who. in the ngurauve Ism
gusge Of that day, was horn with a
bird IN his throat The wonderful
quality OF his vocal resources was an
inheritance from his father. Senior Ri-
cardo Jose. a Spanish tenor, who was
famous all over Europe though his
mother had no particular vocal attain
ments.
Al the age Of six Richard was con-
sidered the most remarkable chorister
in the boy choir OF the parish church
anu DlS powers grew Wltn MS years unlli
by the time he was ten years old he be-
came the wonder OF the village I'm which
he lived
When young Jose was II years old his
father died, leaving family OF seven

est. The problem of existence was
hard one for the widow. and so. when
Richards uncle, a stock broker OF Nir-
ginis City. New. suggested that If she
would send the lad 10 America he might
be able 10 give him 4 start in the world
she sorrovingly agreed. and the boy
started alone on his long journey.
The rest of his story Is best told in Mr..
Joses own words: II will never forget
