BY PAUL WHITAKER.

While I was at my desk industri-
ously grinding out fresh horrors"
for Trench and Camp pricked up my
ears at the sound of an unusually
splendid operatic tenor voice that
waited it's notes into my window.
Being always keen to perceive any
one uncommonly gifted in the musical
art, ran post haste to the tx. of c."
with the original intention of scalp
ing the innocent singer and getting
his pedigree. Failing, however, at

among the spellbound listeners. When
the singer had finished. 1 meekly me-
andered to his side, and, with a def
erence due to genius, talked with this
young man.
A. Coenen, jr., is this engaging SOL
dier's name, and he halls from Tue
son, Ariz., where he is n partner in
promising musical establishment. He
is a Belgian. and born in this country,
his father being a cashier in a leading
bank back home.
Naturally / quizzed him concerning
his study and to my amazement
learned that he had studied under the
great master. SEVERN. at the Mexico
City Conservatory, for five years.
Here he was coached in operate roles
(for his voice is splendidly operatic)
and made his debut later at the larger
auditorium musicales in Tucson He
sang with much success the role Of
the duke in ''Rigoletto" and Faust in
Faust"
While training in San Francisco
this twenty five-year-old artist sang
at a huge concert given for the bene-
fit of the tx. of c." and appeared in
a relief musicale for Belgian babies.
Added to this is his all-sufficient
career as soloist at st. Francis
Church in San Francisco. His fur
