says: 1.-THE presence of Mr.. Armour a
new tenor who has just come to- Atlanta
from Birmingham, added a great deal
to the pleasure of the entertainment last
evening. Mr.. Armour has glorious voice.
and his coming to Atlanta is a distinct
event In the musical world. He sang three
or four numbers last evening and took
his audience by storm. His voice is as
sweet and as clear as a bell, and yet
has a strength and volume that Is re-
markable for he is a man Of slender, small
build His tones are full, round and even
and he sings with the ease of the natural
singer Those who have heard him are
predicting big future for him"
