ADJUSTMENTS.
Hardy Williamson.

Hardy Williamson, the golden
voiced English tenor, late of the
Century Opera company will make
his initial appearance in Keofuk in
a concert at the Y. w. C.. A. audi
forum Tuesday, February IS, 1919.
Mr.. Williamson made his first APP
pearance in America as tenor of the
Century Opera Co., singing the role
of Tybalt in theJvery successful per-
formances of Romeo and Juliet"
Mr.. Williamson also scored distinct
success as the fisherman in the re-
vivals Of William Tell. Perhaps the
greatest triumph for the new tenor
occurred at the Century Opera house,
New York, at the Sunday night
concerts, where overlooking audi
ences applauded wildly his singing Of
favorite airs and songs.
Such voices always touch the
hearts OF the people and once a new
singer succeeds in doing that he is
assured of place on the American
concert stage.
Mr. Williamson is also an Edison
artist, making records for the new
Edison monograph and doubtless
his voice is familiar to many Edison
owners in Keokuk.
Mr.. Williamson had the honor OF
singing before King George and
Queen Mary of England at special
concert in Queens Hall, London, for
the benefit of the Royal college of
music patrons fund.
