The Mackenzie Gordon song recital
at the Opera House next Thursday
evening will be a great social as we'll
as musical event. Mr.. Gordon will be
welcomed by an audience represent
ting the culture and refinement of Ho-
nolulu and the ticket sale has already
assured the largest attendance ever CIV
en- to an artist in this city. Several
parties have been arranged to hear the
noted singer and society is keenly in
terested over the event. Those who
have heard Mr.. Gordon sing on the
mainland have spread their enthusiasm
amongst their friends here and it is
doubtful if an equal interest has ever
been felt in any great singer who has
come here. All this speaks well for the
art and music-loving temperament of
the Honolulu people.
