dramatic stage on account of his sue
cess in concert. He has made a

grasp dramatic meanings, that en-

personal feeling between himself and
his audience. He will sing in opera
in New York in May with the greatest
cast ever assembled for opera in Eng
lish. A number of prominent mem
bers of the Metropolitan will appear
also.
Mr. Hemus, formerly of Topeka, is
making his first appearance for a
good many years, in his home city.

will be given Sunday afternoon at 4:3O
o'clock, by the choir of Grace cathe-
dral. The hour of the Sunday after
noon service has been changed from
4 to 4:30 on account of the address
which Bishop James Wise. will give

With the large choir and the fine
new organ at the cathedral, the event
of the singing of the cantata will
have more than usual attraction for
the people of Topeka. All who care
to hear the music are invited.
