NJ CORMACK, TRUE IRISH BARD
Famous Tenor viii Appear Before
Large Audience Here Tonight

Those who hear John Mccormack
sing in Chestnut street hall tonight,
and there are indications that the audi
ence will be of record breaking pro-
portions, will hear not only great
singer but an artist who possesses all
of the qualities that made the old Irish
5ardS and minstrels. For many years
the poets have been telling us that Car
olan was the last of the great Celtic
boards, bat they were wrong, for there
is one great Irish bard vet alive, and
his name is John Mccormack. He is 4
bard in true sense, for through the
medium of music he delivers message
that reaches the .innermost depths of
the human heart.
Mccormack has been richly endowed.
Ike the bards of Old, with the power
OF pulling the heart strings-of reach
ing those who love music for its own
sake and who delight to hear in spoken
tones the longings, the desires and the
melodies that must forever remain
silent within them. Unlike many of the
concert singers heard to-day he INDUCES
in no theatricals. "Play acting' has
no part IN his concert and there is no
apparent effort to impress his person
ality upon his hearers. He takes them
seriously and tries TO play no tricks
on them outside the realm of true artis-
try.
The announcement of the manage.
ment that it has arranged for 200 ad.
ditional seats at 81 each and 200 more
at $1.50 each, stimulated sales greatly
during the day and there are indications
that the big hall viii be filed to over.
howlng. The concert opens at S.15. Mr..
Mccormack will be assisted bv Donald

 MT, Hewitt objected for in a sense the town meeting was legal and he did not want to disturb that legality. He said it was a de facto town meet ing and should continue as such, and that a town meeting action would have more weight than the action of I a mass meeting. He wanted the ma | chinery set in motion in opposition 10 | the trolley company action
 Chairman tanIe nere announced | tTfat no notice had been posted and | that therefore the town meeting was
 not legally called and that there could
 be no action in regard to expenditure | of money. If no objection was raised
 he would consider action on the troll
 ley road matter in order.
 | Mir. Hewitt then presented a reso- | lution. with a preamble, relating to a
 town meeting legally called and duly
 warned, which set forth that the res | idents of the town of Stonington reg istered their opposition and protest against the raise in the trolley fares and that it was the sense of the meet ing tht the present rate is adequate and that the raise was unwarranted.
 Copies of the vote were ordered TOT warded to the interstate commerce commission and to the Connecticut utilities commission. The resolution
 was unanimously adopted, at the sug-
 gestion of Frederick Burdick- That part of the resolution that made ref
 erence to the legal meeting duly warn
 ed was unpunged-
 Mir. Hewitt then made a long talk
 in support of his claim that the raise
 in fares would be an imposition or all patrons of the road and that Il meant an increase of 20 per cent. ovel the present rate. He said the only
 reason for justification in the increase | of fares was that the earnings are no sufficient to pay dividends, and this claim could not be made for the Grot' on & Stonington company. He saiC the people of Stonington should se up a howl that could be distinctl! heard at the state and national cap itals and which would result in pro lection from imposition. He suggested that every man at the meeting writ letters to the commissions in protes l of the action of the trolley com | pany.
