 HIGH SCHOOL TONIGHT
Illustrious Entertainers to Ap- pear in Auditorium of High
 School This Evening.

The Scotney Company, the first num-
 Der of the Warren District Lyceum
 Course, appears this evening at the
 High School Auditorium.
 To all lovers of good music the War
 ren District Lyceum Course offers an
 unusual treat in the Scotney company which will be the first number in this years course. The company is com

 Madame Evelyn Scotney was born in Ballarat, the famous mining town of Australia, but received her education and early musical training in Mel bourne, where she studied with Mime. Pinchoff- -Wiedermann, a pupil of Mar chefs. At reception given in honor of Lord Kitchener, she was heard by the great Melba who, struck by the
 beauty of her voice, brought her to Pair and placed her under the tuition of Marcheis. The following year Mir Henry Russell, director of the Boston Opera Company, engaged her to sing small parts and thus acquire the necessary stage experience. Upon her first appearance in the small but bril- liant and extremely difficult role of La Charmeuse" in Massenet's "Thais" she made a sensation and was pre- mo hx- iNn Transcript the incident of the per formance. Encouraged by this, Direc- tor Russell put her on the program for the following Sunday night concert in the Mad Scene" from Lucia" and she created a veritable fuIore.
 Mir Howard White, the male star of the evening, is an American, born and educated in Providence, Rhode Island, where he graduated from Brown University in 1902. He later took a course in law at the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh and was admitted to the Bar of Pennsylvania in 1907. After practicing law for two years, he found the call of music too strong to resist, and, closing his office and sell ing his law books, he joined the Bos- ton Opera Company just as it was be- ginning, in 1909. For the past five years he has been connected with this company but has had opportunity for large amount of concert work in cluding appearances in almost all the states of the Union and in Nova Scotia, ;r, which his arked success demonstrates clearly that he has something his audiences like. His voice is of virile yet sympathetic quality and extended range. and has been developed by the best of American and European school ing. He has a large repertoire of songs, and operatic and oratorio arias to the rendition of which he brings excellent dictation in English, French, German and Italian, an attractive presence, a fine musicianship, and an intelligent and sympathetic under standing of the text.
