some of the musicians here have
asked him to spend one day a week
with them in this city. A recent num-
Der of the San Francisco Chronicle

guished singing master musician of
London. has been in our city for the

mere creation of astonishing vocal
sounds-an art, the contamination of
which is to stir the emotions at the
will of the singer"
