composed by Sir Arthur Sullivan. This
was considered his masterpiece. He recei-
we'd the sum of ten thousand pounds for
this beauteous piece of classic music. Sir
Arthur was in conjuncture with WIS. Gil
bert who wrote many operas and various
other pieces of music. We need not ag-
grandize our orchestra, for in spite of the
cynics, you can not beat it for efficiency.
Again we emphasize en- avant. You are

"Can the white choir produce soloist?"
This is what querist asked the writer last
holiday. This is a very poignant question.
And the following is what should call a
soloist: He. or she, should possess SYM
pathetic and voluminous voice with great
dramatic expression, also must not be averse
to encouragement or preponerate platitude
but must be prepared for the inevitable at
all times. The triumph methodically ar
rives at the opportune moment. Some
time in the future Monsieur Rue will write
a column for the Mirror pertaining to some
musicians who commenced their career
from the very bottom of the ladder, until
success eliminated desponency and placed
the genius on the pinnacle of fame.
