center Of the United States. OF all the
musical centers in Europe none have
such a critical number of residents as
Mondovi, where he made his first pub
lie appearance.
Several of the greatest musical
critics in Europe remarked, after they
had heard him sing, that he would
startle the world by his wonderful
voice when he appeared in grand opera.
Hawaii should well be proud of her
greatest singer and for his great sue
cess Mrs. Turner and c. M. Cooke de-
serve the credit as they have made his
musical education possible.
If Lot ever come here and give a
concert, it is safe to predict that the
Opera House will be taxed to its ut
most capacity. Hawaii is now able to
boast of having in the rank of world
artists one of the greatest baritone
singers alive today, and when his fame
is written by the best musical critics
in New York his success will be re-
ceived with the greatest enthusiasm
here.
