OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. COMING.
The Popular Contralto to be Star at
Next Festival.

Aho Toputhr SOuuraibO TO De star AT
Next Festival.
1t is to be doubted II more popular
| announcement in connection with the
Maine music festival could be made than
that the immensely popular Schumann-
Heink is to be the star at next October's
festival.
Derctor-in- Chief w. r. Chapman makes
the gratifying announcement that he has
signed contracts with this wonderful
singer, and will present her as the star of
the festival opening night. She will be
heard, unquestionably, by an enormous
audience, for no singer is more popular
hereabouts. Known and admired through
out the world, she has won for herself an
especially warm place in the hearts of the
people of Maine.
There have been many requests that she
again be heard at the festival, and she is
DOW at the very height OF her career
more magnetic, charming, and in finer
voice than ever.
Her program will not be announced
until later, but the mere announcement of
her appearance will be sufficient to insure
a splendid gathering.
Negotiations are now pending with
other great artists, whose names will be
announced when the contracts are signed.
They will be from the Metropolitan opera
house in New York and the Chicago
Philadelphia grand opera company.
In all the sixteen years of the festival,
Director Chapman has never announced
an artist who has not appeared, and the
festival appeals to thousands throughout
the State, while its inspiring and uplifting
influence was never more marked than
now. :,
