The announcement made some ,
time ago of Mr.. j. E. Bakers plans

created intense interest among the
music lovers of this community. That

lyric tenor America has ever pro-
duced He is a great favorite in
Europe as we'll as in America and
has fairly won his place at the top.
His wonderful voice never falls to-
satisfy the most exacting and crowd
ed houses greet him wherever he
appears.

time between grand opera and
concert work. He has been chosen to
