1t is hoped that the public will not over
look the fact that this concert is given I'M
der the auspices and for the benefit OF the
local festival chorus, nov In the fifteenth
year OF its existence. Ii has cost consid-
cradle money and has taken a whole lot
of courage, persistence and perseverance
TO maintain this organization, but no one
will question its usefulness in the COM
munity, and that its continuance is worth
while; hence the appeal for the support to
which it believes it is entitled.
Most musical organizations cost a great
deal, and few are self-supporting. The
Boston Opera Co. has Just closed the sea-
LA - a
every festival in America runs behind
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year. Yet the
Maine music festival, now in its sixteenth
year, has, with two exceptions, made
enough to pay It's bills In full, and friends
OF the cause made up the deficits OF those
two years.
Doubtless the reason for this is that the
public realizes that it is hearing more
music and great artists for less money
than anywhere else in the country, IL not
in the world. And it is group Of these
artists which Mr.. Chapman is bringing to
Ellsworth. Here are some press notices:
OF the solo singers, the PAIN was easily
borne of by Miss Potter. - ". Y. Trsbuns
Dee. 10, 1911.
MISS Mildred totter. q Mtnnesotan IKE
Fremstadt. was a new memo, OF n richness and
range that suggested Schumann-Heink.-N.
Y. Sun, Dec. 10, 1911.
Miss Potter, rising young contralto, with
a glorious voice of wide range and beautiful
timbre, was at her best in the "Agnus Der.
where her voice, blending with Madame
Giuck's brought this gem of the work its
own haunting, hears-rending significance.
N, Y. Masical Courier, Dec. 10, 1911.
Miss Potter has voice Of wide range. with
brilliancy above and a rich quality below

Another American woman who has recently
| received unstinted praise in Paris is Josefa
Schailer. the young violinist who has been
| coaching with Thibaud all winter. She gave
several numbers at the opening OF the Ameri-
can exposition Of pictures, the affair being
| presided over by the Ameri can ambassador
and Mrs. Bacon. Miss Schslier's numbers
| were selections from Paganini and Saint
| saens, and her playing revealed extraordi-
nary tone technie. The violinist expects to
make q London debut next season.-Trans-
| Iation from Parts paper.
John Barnes Wells, like Csruso, needs
no newspaper notices, Is he has been be-
fore the public the last six years, and is
thoroughly known as one OF the best
| tenors in America to-day.
Smith & Hagerthy's clothing store is
headquarters for this event; there tickets
and programs may be obtained up to the
eveniny of the commencement "Wednesday
