The CHAPMAN CONCERT. Tickets are SELL
ing like hot cakes for the Chapman con-
cert to be given in Belfast Saturday even
ing, March 9Th. The Maine people who
heard Nina Morgana at the Festival know
what wonderful treat they have in store for
e4'NtAioSArSSS anu ny IuS way the LlckeCS are
selling it is very evident that she has been the
most talked of new singer that MIR. Chapman
has brought to Maine in the eighteen years of
the Festival. The reason of Miss Morgana's
success is that her selections have been en-
tirely different from any given by the other
great artists, owing to the difficulty of the
same, and we glad to note that Mr.. Chap
hos, irl,, l.
from La Somnambula, which she electrified
Maine with, at the Festival, and is only sung
by such artists Patti, Gerster, and Melba,
on our programme. Her other numbers are
most unique, among them being the Angels
Serenade, by Brager, with Violin Obligato. To
hear her sing the song" The Sweetest Flower
that Blows" is worth the prize of admission
alone.
