greatest musical treat Belfast has yet to hear,

dano. the celebrated Italian tenor, called the
''second Caruso," will be the attraction. He
will not, however, be the only artist on the
program, for with him comes Miss Frances An
derson Otis, soprano, young professional of
charming personality and beautiful voice. who
has sung with Schumann- Heink. Nordica and
others of world wild reputation. She will sing,
beside her solos, the famous duet from La
Boheme and Rigolette, with Giordano, whose
voice blends beautifully with hers. An
other star will be MISS Sue Winchell of Bruins
wick, 'Cellist, one of the finest Maine has
ever produced. This trio will be assisted by
Many Belfast people had the pleasure of hear
ing Giordano at the recent Maine Festival, and
those who missed him have heard much of his
wonderful voice. To have him brought to
Belfast is treat almost too good to be true,
but Mr.. Chapman, believing that the people of
Maine really want to hear the wonderful voice
again and fearing that he cannot be procured
for another festival at present has secured
his release for brief time from the Opera
Co. and Belfast is fortunate in being on the
list of Maine cities to be visited. The concert
will take place in the Colonial Theatre Dec
