Tenor.
 reer for the concert stage. Opera thereby loses a great tenor, but the great number of critics which will thus be enabled to hear him will be gainers- In March, 1911, he appeared sn San Francisco, and was given a great reception Harvey Wickham in the San Francisco Chronicle thus com ments upon his recital:
 "AlesSndro Bonci has taken the town by storm. His audience at the Columbia yesterday afternoon was the largest which has greeted any musical artist this season, excepting Tetrabbini and the Gerville-R -Reache appearance before the Teachers association. And its enthusiasm, judged by the amount of noise per capita, exceeded anything heard here since the fire. Scores lit erally rose 10 their feet and shouted Oh. 1t was a success, all right
 And Bonci deserved it. His voice was nke-how shall express it? It was like a piece of yellow satin the kind Of satin which oscar Wilde said vas enough in itself to make life worth living It is the kind of a tenor you read about-but it is not ''bel canto," whatever the press agents may say, for 1t is too dramatic for that When you hear it you don't care what kind of a tenor 1t is-al you do care about is to hear more. Some of the high C's which Alessandro turned loose would have been difficult or i'm possible for any other tenor in the world. The "Che Gelida Mania" from Puccini's La Boheme," showed just how good the gods can be to a man when they set out. It contained not only a sky-scraper note, which tiled the theater to the bursting point with vibrations of a divine sweetness, but a long drawn diminuendo, equalled by nothing I ever heard save a still more perfect dininuendo in one of the French songs"
 Seats for the Boncl recital are on sale at the store of Geo. A. Davis, where they can be secured up to . o'clock this afternoon. After that they can be secured at Slater Memorial hall between 7.s0 and D. m. The concert will begin promptly at o'clock, and patrons are requested to be in their seats before that time, as after the first number has been started no one will be admitted until 1t Is finished.
