Jews on the upper East Side have
gone wild with enthusiasm over the
voice of a Russian cantor who sang
the services in the New York Star
theater Saturday morning. The theater
has been turned into temporary tenn
pie. His name is A. L. SchlossbSrg,
and those who have heard him declare
he has the most remarkable voice a
human being ever possessed.
The cantor could be rabbi, it is
said, If he wanted to; but, knowing
the quality of his voice. he prefers to
remain singer. He has had dozens
of offers to go into grand opera or to
sing in concert, But the bent of his

this country is so great that he finds
it impossible to accept all calls. Satur-

To- might. know, beyond the rim
Where all my prairie sunsets fade.
Gods far white mountains look to him
Clad in his glory unafraid;
The solemn light on peak and scaur
The clear, still depths OF cloudless air
The trembling silver OF a star

The mountains call me back to lay
My weakness on their boundless might,
The canyons call me home to pray
In silent, stainless shrines tonight;
Yet here in dusty mart and street

Content to find my exile sweet
With love that recompenses all.
