London, Oct, 2, l903-NeNer before,

outside the Beehive state, so much
Utah talent on one program as that en-

are at present in London Mr.. Cecil
Montague, talented young English
| pianist, also assisted, so it may be
readily seen that the concert was am
| artistic success. The large beautiful
| han was crowded many strangers be-
| ing present, some coming out of curl
| osity, while others came because they
! had so thoroughly enjoyed the previous
| concerts given by our people. But
| whatever their motives were for COM
| ing they went away well satisfied and
| assured that the "Mormons' are a mu-
steal people and encourage the study
| of the fine arts.
The program was rendered as fol-

At the conference next day some OF
the soloists sang In the services,
Salt I.akers will soon have n new
tenor in their midst In the person OF
oscar A. Kirkham, who formerly lived
in Lehi. Mr.. Klrkham is well known
i'm Provo, where he attended the Brig
ham Young academy. Like all musi.
clans, who have come from Utah coun.
~. he is a hard worker: and since 4
certain amount of native talent and {
good share OF hard work have brought
the other students success, we conf
IDENTIFY look forward to his being wei
received by the public. His voice 1,
not very high tenor, but It has {
sweetness about II which touches tn,
heart. 1t was Mr.. klrkhams inten.
ton to remain here all winter, but h,
has since decided to return home thi,
fall and will sail from Liverpool on
the eighth. MIR, Visetti, Miss Tout's in
structor, told him that he thought hin
we'll suited TO opera and that he coulC
have the greatest hopes that he woulC
be successful In this line of work, wer,
he to devote his time to It. Mr.. Frank
lin Give Of the Guildhall School o
Music, also gave him much encourage
ment after hearing him sing. Will,
In Berlin Mr. Ktrkham studied vote,
under Felix Smldt and Emmi
Steinman and piano and theory unde
Walter Meyrowitz He will be success
ful as n teacher because he is very en-
thusiastic and has the ability O
being able to tell others wha
he himself has learned. He has no
fully decided whether or not he will
open studio In Salt Lake as he ma!
return to Europe next spring afte
having given some concerts In tn
west.
