MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Singer Receivers

Dom Francisco de Souza, Marquis de
Borba, singer from the royal courts of
Madrid and Lisbon, the man with the
name which suggests aristocratic an
tecedents, a figure which suggests
much dining and voice which sug-
gests grand opera, has recovered from
the cold which prevented his appear
ing at the Orpheum on Monday night
and is now regaling the vaudeville au-
diences regularly with his really mag
nificent singing. With more rational
appearance De Souza would be one of
the greatest grand opera singers of
the day, but at it is he is the greatest
baritone ever heard on the Orpheum
stage. His numbers are the Toreador's
song from Bzet's Carmen" and
Faure's Palms." and the sonorous
music of these two great songs simply
rolls from him in great volumes of
tone which electrify every audience,
and futile efforts are made to get him
to sing more, but he refuses to strain
his recently recovered voice. Alto
gether De Souza is probably the most
remarkable figure-in more ways than
one-appearing at the Orpheum this
season.
