Der with interest Roland Paul, the
matchless tenor, who took part in
two oratorios here. The gentleman's
marital difficulties in Denver were
the subject of much comment here.
Now comes the news of the approach
ing marriage of the singer. Speaking
OF the matter, the Denver News Of
Friday says:
The announcement of the approach
ing marriage of Roland Paul, one of
the most prominent yocaIists of Den
yer, will be received with genuine sur
prise by everybody who knows the
popular singer. The engagement has
been kept a profound secret-so pro-
found. indeed, that no one in Denver,
with the exception of a half dozen
of his intimate friends, knows that
within a week Mr.. Paul will lead to
the altar a bewitching young Califor-
MIA widow, Mrs. Tobermen of Los An
geles. Mrs. Toberman is expected to
arrive in Denver tomorrow night, and
the wedding will be celebrated here
some time next week. The date and
also the place will not be decided
upon. it is said. until Mrs. Toberman
comes, but it is to be a church we'd
ding, either at the Central Presbyte-
rian or Trinity NJ. E., probably the
former. No invitations will be issued,
as the wedding will be as informal as
it is possible to make it. All the Dem
yer friends of Mr., Paul are to be asked
verbally.
Mr.. Paul has known Mrs. Toberman
for about q year, but the acquaintance
was merely a casual one until a month
or two ago. Early In the summer Mr..
Paul was ordered to California for
his health. being troubled with a
throat affection. He went to Los An
geles and spent several weeks there,
during which time he met Mrs. To-
bermen frequently. 1t is understood
that at this time the fatal word was
spoken which is to bring about such
a happy elimination next week. Since
then preparations for the wedding
have been going on steadily, but with
the utmost secrecy.
Mrs. Tobermen is said to be a wo'
man Of rare charm, young. beautiful
and wealthy. Her husband, who died
two years ago, belonged to n Of
the leading families of southern Cali
fornia, and she has been surrounded
all her life by wealth and culture
Besides her possessions of beauty and
wealth, Mrs. Tobermen is said to be
a fine conversationalist. widely trav
eled and a talented musician and
critic.
Mr.. Paul is SO well known In Den
yer that a word about him scarcely
seems necessary. He came here
little over two years ago, and imme
diately established himself, through
his splendid tenor voice, in the bes,
musical circles of the city. Until last
spring he was the tenor in the Contra
Presbyterian church, when he re
signed to take up concert work. Since
then he has been travelling with hi:
company, with the exception Of wha'
time he spent recuperating In Califor
mia this summer. He numbers hii
friends by the hundreds here In Den
yer and wherever he appeared In hi
concert work he was most ~fatteringly
received.
The wedding preparations include
the furnishing Of q handsome little
home on Vine street, which Mr.. Pau
has all in readiness for his bride, AM
where, after q brief wedding Journey
they will be happy to receive theil
friends.
