LOUIS GRAVEURE

Louis Graveure the recently lis

here tomorrow evening in Fahnc-

day Club, has had a most romantic
life. lie is blonde, Viking sort of
person, whose presence on the con-
cert platform conveys strength, and
he is pre-eminently an athlete.
From his earliest years he took long
jaunts through Belgium with his
father and early learned the great
English games of cricket and tennis.
He began to traverse the out places
OF the world in his young boyhood,
drawn to South Africa by the diam5nd
lure. Finding the real work Of hunt
ing the precious stones too hard fol-
his taste, he worked his way from
settlement to settlement end singing
along the way, just as jf lie had not
lost all the money left him by his
father At last he reached Johannes
burg, where someone in the upper So
Cial circles heard him sing. He was
questioned, and when he replied hcsi-
tatingly the truth, the turn of the
wheel came for him. He remained in
johannesburg for some months
achieving a local fame which must
have pointed the way of his future
strongly.
Tomorrow evenings program is &
most delightful one and the sact that
Brycesson TrehaIne, the distinguished
composer, will be the accOmpanist
adds much. to the interest of the
recital.
All classes of Wednesday Club
members are privileged to attend on
presentation of their special tickets
