Rare Musical Treat.
Hancock ball ought to be packed to the
doors next saturday evening, when W. X.
Chapman brings to Ellsworth the won
derful tenor, Salvatore Giordano, the
! accomplished soprano, Miss Florence
Anderson Otis, the gifted 'cellist-and a
Maine giri-Miss Sue Wincheli, to sing
and play.
Never before has such a musical con-
bination been booked in this city; it may
never happen again. Those who don't
take advantage of the rare opportunity
offered will regret it all their lives.
THE AMERICAN has said about all it can
say of this famous group; read what the
Portland Sunday Press said:
"A Chapman concert is not like any
other musical event ever given in this
city, for Prof. Chapman knows just what
his audiences want and gives it to them in
generous measure. That which took place
in the Pythian temple was OF the very
rarest favor, as was to be expected with
Chew. Giordano, tenor, Florence Ander-
son Otis, soprano, Miss Sue Winchell,
'cellist, and Mr.. Chapman himself at the
piano. With artists Of such musical
caiibre the evening could not fail to be a
charming one, and it was even more than
that-it was an inspiration.
First came Miss WinchelI, and her
lovely cello work, opened most auspi-
ciously the appealing programme.
Miss Wincheli has temperament and style
with command OF her instrument that is
a joy and special pride to her hosts of
Maine admirers.
"There was a very natural curiosity to
hear Florence Anderson Otis, the New
L. -knrt
sented for the first time to his audiences
here. Although much was expected, she
more than realized all hopes. Miss Otis
has a beautiful voice, clear and true, and
managed with telling skill. In her aria
from "Traviata" she sang with polished
ease. and much dramatic power, and these
characteristics were brought into still
further evidence, in the duets with Chew.
Giordano, which brought to such an ef-
fective close the first and second parts Of
the program.
'sBut the star OF tine evening was Gior-
dano. This splendid young tenor, domi-
mated the whole, both with his magnetic
personality and his superb voice, that
seemed even more exquisite in the smaller
hail where there was a delightful feeling
OF coming closer in touch than is possible
in the great auditorium. Several OF the
numbers were those sung in October, but
new beauties were revealed with every
hearing, and some OF them had to be gone
over three times before the audience
would be satisfied, and even then every
body was reluctant to have the glorious
melting tones cease.
with Mr.. Chapman as the accompanist,
nothing was lacking to make the evening
an artistic success"
