To judge singer correctly one need
not have heard him often and under
different conditions, but one must at
least once or more have come into what
may be called the atmosphere of per-
sonality. The question has often been
asked: Should an opera lover meet So
cially the artist and professional people
they see on the stage. The answer is
yes and no. One should certainly, in
the case of q singer of distinction, be-
come sufficiently acquainted to under
stand his aims, ambition and above all
his standpoint.
Mr.. Comfy is a very winning man to
people who admire an open and noble
face. He has breadth, whether you
mean of voice, or shoulder, or view
of things. If there is one belief to
which Mr.. Comfy is rooted, it is that the
greater and better the man the greater
and better the singer. That is why he
hates vocal machines and loves those
who teach the singer that they can ex-
press soul in song.
Mr. Comfy will be seen here, next
week, with the Wilbur Opera Company
in II performances in which he will
be attired in some of the most hand
some costumes ever7seen upon the ope-
ratio stage. He will also wear during
the engagement the handsome dia-
monds presented to- him by Princess
Rella Marie Schronki, who is the
youngest daughter to the brother of
the Gar of Russia, and on whose ac-
count Miss Maud Daniels was COM
PEELED to cancel her engagement at the
Royal Palace on account of the young
princess admiration of Mr.. Comfy.
Mr.. Comfy has already been compelled
to refuse several invitations on his ar
rival in the city, next week, as his time
is entirely devoted to his profession.
Mr.. Comfy is a native of Biddeford,
Me-, and lived there until young man.
He has been with the Wilbur Opera
Company % years, and has never miss
ed single performance. This company
has often been in Bangor and Port
land. but was never before in Augusta.
There is q rich treat in store for the
music lovers of Augusta and vicinity,
next week.

JAS. E. Comfy.
The Star Of the Wilbur Opera Com
pany Maine Man.

1t is well remembered by the theatre
going public and especially the lovers
of music in Augusta, that the first and
only appearance in this city of the
celebrated singer, Mr.. James E. Comfy.
was with the world-renowned prima
donna Geraldine Timer, a few years
ago. for the benefit of the Universalist
church. The event not only proved one
of the greatest artistic successes, but
one of the largest financial benefits
We're attended in the city of Augusta
1t is needless to say that Mr. Comfy
possesses one of the grandest tenor
voices ever heard in our city. AS he
more than capitivated the several hum
dred people in attendance. His artis-
tic career has been the expression Of
honest, slow, natural growth of his
physical, intellectual and vocal powers.
He is not one of those who, after two
or three years of study, tackle Wag-
ner.

distinguished guest of the evening and
he will be asked to speak to the people.

steps of Gov. Hills residence, from
which place in the days of long ago, the
late Mr.. Blaine often spoke to admir-
ing crowds. Four large arc lights are
to be placed above the entrance of the
house so that the people up and down
State street may obtain a good look at
the atoms Chief Executive.
A great crowd of people can gather
in the street in front of the Blaine
mansion and with the additional lights
which are to be provided there will be
no difficulty for all to see the President.
Early Wednesday morning President
Roosevelt and his party will take a
drive around the city and at $50. o'clock

Before the departure of the train for

the people to again catch a glimpse of
the President.
