Lot Kaulukou the Hawaiian BARI
tone" or Lot Sebastiano.'' as the
young man has decided to call himself
for his career upon the operate stage,
is reported to be progressing favorably
in his musical studies in San Francis
co, and to have had an opportunity CIV
en- him to sing the part of the baritone
in the "Serenade." In a letter re-
ceived by a friend from Mrs Annis
Montague Cooke who went to the Coast
to watch over Kaulukou's career it is
said that Ibis progress is certainly
great and really wonderful and beyond
our expectations. His voice has more
than doubled in power, and the regis
ter extended many notes. The middle
register has gained in prominence and
resonance. Every one who hears and
meets him speaks of him in the most
glowing terms. He sang in a concert
in Oakland before an exclusive club
and made an excellent reputation. He
sang the prologue from Ell Pagliacci
with a great deal of power and artis-
tic finish.
THE conductor of the Tivoli orches-
ira sent for him and gave him a hear
ing for the baritone part in the 'Sere-
made although another was singing
the part, and told him to be ready to
respond to call for his services by
telephone. He was told that he would
be given the first chance POSSIBLE. He
has been working steadily on the Tore
ador in Carmen and has now completed
Valentine in Faust; Count di Lucci in
Travatore, Torrnio in Ell Pagliacci, AL
varado in the Serenade. He is also
studying the baritone part in Aida. He
is progressing finely in French and is
developing well under physical culture
treatment.
! The Oakland Tribune has the follow
ing about Lot Sebastiano:
HOME CLUB ENTERTAINMENT.
1t is many months since any club
scored SO unqualified a success as in
the entertainment planned at the
Home Club for the Social Settlement.
Early in the afternoon a long process
sion of carriages might be seen wend-
ing its way to the Home Club; the
procession varied now and then by
the choo-chooing of an automobile
bearing guests to the entertainment.
There was a spontaneous tribute of
applause paid to Mr.. Lot Sebastian for
his splendid singing. He did some
fine work, and his friends are predict
ing great success for him in grand
opera, the profession he has chosen
He is a protege OF Mrs. Annis Monta-
que, who has sung so successfully in
opera.
Mr. Lot Sebastian is certainly among
the leading singers of the Coast. Mrs.
Annis Montague is a sister of Mrs. s. !
T. Alexander, and comes here from Ho- /.
nolulu. She is to make her permanent
