Over 60 Mccormack records for VicFOIa.

At $1 to $4, there are just over 60 splendid Victor records sung by John Me Cormack whose rise to operatic fame has been rapid and almost spectacular. With in eight years he has sprung from obscur- ity to one of the highest positions in the world of grand opera. After graduating from college, he sang at the Dublin Mu- sica1 Festival and to his own surprise won first prize. That gave him the needed start and after several concerts to raise funds, he went to Italy to study. From there he came back to London in 1907 and to fame.
 His ballad records have been among the greatest of Victor successes; his op- cratic airs are sung in pure Italian-and in all, his enunciation is clear and pleas ing.
 Among his latest, sung only for the Victor, are
