When John Mccormack. the famous lyric tenor, appears at the New Pol1 Theatre in this city Sunday evening April 26, he will be accompanied on the piano by Vincent O'Br1en, cnolr- master of the cathedral in Marlpor- ough street. Dublin was OoIien who .sdiscovered'' Mccormack as q singer when Mccormack went to Dub lin to take the civil service examina-i tions for a position under the govern ment.
 . That was some discovery, it must be admitted. But as a discoverer O,Brien didn't stop there. Having put McCormack through comparatively brief course of instruction and having had the satisfaction of seeing him win first prize in a big singing contest Tn the Irish capital, he made further discovery. and that was that another of his talented pupils, certain Dub lin girl. was eminent qualified to aid him in the task of insulting into the mind of the young tenor the convlc-s ton that fame and fortune were With in his grasp if he would only reach out for them.
 And so it was that Lily Foley and John Mccormack were made ac- uuainted with each other. It was good, old-fashioned case Of love at first sight, and there has been no cause on the part of either ever since to question the good and kindly judg- r1ent of the Dublin choirmaster-
 'I guess there is nobody who has heard me sing oftener than my wife has, says Mccormack
 ..I guess there's nobody who en- joys my husbands singing more than I do," says Mrs. Mccormack
 Cyril is now seven, a fact which was duly chronicled last week. on the strength of a big birthday cele- bration at the Hotel Netherland. New York where his parents, are now staying, and Peggy will be six next August They, too, are faithful at tendants at every concert at which their father appears, when they hap pen to be in the neighborhood, or when it isn't necessary for them to stay LID too late And they are both talented singers, too, like their father and mother
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-04-11

.'wno is the biggest boy in your family" someone asked Cyril, as he was strolling in Central Park the oth- CT day.
 Papa" came the quick reply.
 And so it is Papa is the big broth er If there is one thing he enjoys more than to con over a new song or a deep work of philosophy, it is to rolnp with Cyril and little Peggy.
 Children are great philosophers" he says. They are open books, but they are also very deep They keep you turning over new leaves all the time-'
 Who shall tell what inspiration this greatest of lyric tenors derives from daily contact with these little com rades of his? He calls them a post graduate course, after his long term of instruction under one of the great est of Italian masters in the art of voice culture. Those things which touch our own hearts give us the grace to touch hearts of others.
 The world may we'll thank this wo- man and these two children, who have had such influence upon the career of John Mccormack. But there is another woman who also had great influence upon his career. She was famous when he was all but unknown. Her name is Mary Anderson. She heard him sing atsa musicale in Lon don and recognized at once the pow CT that was in him to stir and sway the human emotions through the di- vine gift of song.
 This is voice the world will de- light to hear,'' she said.
 The weight of her word gave him place in big concert. and then and there his reputation and fortune were made.
 The career of John Mccormack. has been described as meteoric. As a 1 fer of fact if is simply the natural process of genius coming to it's own. Yet there are things, such inf1u- ence of good women, which act as a | spur to brings this genius the more swiftly and surely to it's appointed place.
 The sale of tickets for the concert
 will open at Steinert 6 Sons 915 Main l street, April 16, at 8 a. m.
