MARDoNEs WONDERFUL BAsso
Will Be Heard With Boston Opera Stars
in Barre.

II is safe to say that no singer who
has appeared in New England in re-.
impression on local music lovers than
will Jose Mardones, the wonderful basso
who comes to the Barre opera house on
Wednesday evening, April %, with the
Boston Opera company artists. On his
every appearance throughout New Eng
land he has more than justified the
seemingly exaggerated statements made
about his marvellous voice. Those who
hear him do not soon forget the pure
organ-like notes, the perfect diction and
the striking personality.
Mardones is Spaniard by birth, and
gained his first operate laurels in his
native country. He has sung in every
great opera house in the world always
rising so far above his nearest rival
that fair comparison is out of the
question. The only basso during the
past twenty years who might stand
comparison with him is Pol Plane0n
for years primo basso of the Metropoi-
tan Opera company. In his day, Plan
con reigned supreme, as Mardones does
to-day. He shared equal honors with
such artists as Jean de Reske. Melba,
Calve and Sembrich, and his name was
fully as important a by-word among
opera lovers.
1t is an extremely difficult thing TO
compare two artists who have not sung
contemporaneously but critics are pretty
generally agreed that for artistry, Plan-
con would take the palm, while as re-
CARDS voice, Mardones would be declared
his superior.
Mardones will be heard here in one OF
his greatest roles, that of Mephistoph
eles in Faust a role that shows
off his remarkable voice to perfection
He will also render number on the
concert programme. ADV.

Since it's organization, the order has

strength and ascending glory, until today
there are throughout the country more
