car Seagle, the popular baritone, has
endeared himself to the hearts of all
Americans by his glorious voice and
his ability to sing simple song in the
most striking and unusual manner,
and it is said that there is now no
singer before the public who makes
friends with an audience as quickly
as does Seagle for he enjoys telling
the audience comic story to illus
trate the songs he is going to sing.
| Miss Barbara Maurel, who appears
| with Mr.. Seagle, first came to this
country as one of the favorite prima
| donnas of the Boston Opera Company,
and has made a place for herself in
musical circles which has taken many
| other singers years to accomplish. II
| is said that her singing of Garry Me
Back to Old Virginia" and "Old Black
Joe" are among the finest things ever
given In concert in this country.
| Sascha Jacobsen, the violinist, first
leaped into fame by appearing with
the New York Philharmonic Orches-
ira, and since that time he has been
the talk of the musical world. He has
| been called by the critics "a Genius of
the Violin Added to this great and
compelling talent, is personality
which appeals to the public in an un-
mistakable way. After Jacobsen's
first appearance in New York, the
Globe" of that city stated that
among the army of young fiddlers
who have appeared in New York this
season, Sascha Jacobsen stands out as
one of the most gifted" while the mu-
steal critic of the New York Press
states His tone is remarkably sweet,
mellow and expressive, yet at the
same time astonishingly full, round
and forceful," and that at was a
pleasure to note the strong, steady
and authoritive sweep of the young
players bow, so quick and sharp in
attack, so energetic and virile in It's
pull, yet SO light and graceful" Chas.
Harrison, or Charlie" as he is called
first sang his way to fame as tenor
of the first rank, by rendering old time
ballads and folk songs, and year by
year he has grown in popularity un-
til he is now household word and he
has had to extend his tours to salts
fly the demand for his appearances. He
has sung with great success from New
York to California, and from Canada
to the Gulf of Mexico. With Mr. Har-
rison will appear the beautiful Cali
fornia soprano, Amparita Farrar, OF
whose first appearance in New York
the "Globe" said, Last evenings au-
dience seemed delighted with her, tc
Judge from the storms of spontan-
eeus applause that frequently burst
forth" while the New York Evening
Sun" reported that Her voice has g
crystal freshness which she used
brightly and with the happiest re.
suits" There has never been a more
popular male quartet In America than
the Columbia Stellar Organization
which is already known to thousands
