0RVILLE HAROLD.
He Writes Moving Picture Scenarios
Between Concerts.

Attired in suit of pajamas and with
big blue blanket wrapped around his
person the great tenor, Orville Har-
rold, who will be heard in concert to-
night at the Grand Opera house, WIS
sitting at table in his room deeply
engrossed in the writing of an exciting
scenario for moving picture concern
with the scene laid in the time of
Cromwell, when a reporter was ushered
into the room.
The writing of scenarios is a hobby
with the singer and he enthusiastically
told the newspaper reporter of the plot
that he had worked out. He writes
many of them just as a pastime, ana
they bring all sthe way from five to
thirty-five dollars each. He and his
Wife often write them together
Harold was a Kansas boy; that Is
he spent nine years of his boyhood in
this state-at Newton and at Lyons. lit
fact his musical career began at New
ton. Mrs. CASTOR Boyd, who was at
the time of his residence there-about
eighteen or twenty years ago-teacher
of music in the grade schools, taught
him his first songs. Next Monday
night Harold will sing two of those
songs al Newton for the benefit of his
former teacher and his many friends in
that town.
Harold told an interesting story of
MS experience in signing with oscar
Hammerstein. He said when 1 signed
with Hammerstein he says to me, he
says:
You've been singing in vaudeville,
Ell? Well, have been dealing in
voices for thirty years and I know
voice. 1 know that you have got it
here (pointing to the throat) but what
have you got there?' AS he asked this
he pointed to my forehead"
The program tonight will include 4
half dozen new English songs. These
were memorized by Harold in one af
ternoon- Several of them have never
been published. Harold procured them
in manuscript form.
Harry E. Paris, manager for Orville
Harold, is not so modest in speaking
about the great singer as he is i'll
speaking of himself. Harold was born
in Muncie, Ind, and lived there as Il
small boy. Paris, who has made music |
his life work. comes from the same |
town.
In speaking of Harold his manager !
said: His mental makeup is mar
vellous. He will hold his audience sim
ply SPELL bound tonight There is only |
one greater tenor singer in the world |
today-Caruso.
Miss Monroe, who accompanies Har-
sold, is an interesting girl. She comes
from Muncie, also. She is of a retiring
sweet disposition, yet she has lot of
grit About two years ago she staked
out claim in South Dakota and lived
on it for sixteen months. She had many
interesting experiences"
The concert tonight will begin
promptly a t SIS o'clock.

the visiting stenographic writer's will
endeavor to make the best records for

two years is one thing of no little
note; to serve as manager and captain
of the club in addition To playing "A
