t. one encore, and only escaped sec

tons to the audience that there were
other singers in reserve. Hampstead
Bentley. the sweet voiced tenor at the
Orpheum, sang two popular numbers
in style appreciably free from the
usual affectations of stage singers. He
sings thru his mouth and not thru his
nose. Theodore Gundry of Washburn
