low tho "Ronsy soys' ,
Trained,

Since the announcement that
the famous "Roney's Boys" are
to give concert in this, city on
June 7th. Friday, there has
been unusual interest shown
in the personnel of the lads
who have astonished critical
audiences IN the largest cities
with their artistic rendering of
classical music. The boys
seldom have more than a rudi
mentary knowled.e of music
when they are placed under
Mr.. Roney's instruction. They
are chosen for their natural
gifts of voice, ear, temperament
and sympathetic susceptibility
to emotions inspired by the
words and music. Unre1nittinx
and. exacting rehearsalssdo the
rest. They are taught to un.
derstandthe dramatic meaning
of their songs, and gain intelli.
gent conception of them by ex
PLANTATION and illustration.
Rehearsals for the. next sea-
sons program begin upon the
company's return in the spring
