Chicago Critics Are Elated With Ke-

Immediate Position and Urge Him
To Accept Later Offer.

A signal honor came to Ernest
Hawke the well known Kenosha solo
list on Tuesday afternoon when officials
of the Redpath Chautauqua organiza-

concert stage for that concern at an
early date this spring. The offer was
made to become effective i'm

in order that he might complete some
contracts which he has made with Ke-
nosha concerns The Kenoshan has,
however, accepted the offer to start
early in the spring and will be sent on
the lyceum and chautauqua platform
Of the Redpaths at that time.
The exact nature of the musical num-
bers which Mr.. Hawke will be asked to
give for the Redpath organization has
not yet been decided The official mus

The new position comes as a recogni-

has gained an enviable reputation in
musical circles in Kenosha. AS a solo
list Mr.. Hawke has for several years
charmed many audiences in Kenosha
and the new offer, recognizing his abil-
ity, has long been anticipated by his
friends. Mr.. Hawke first gained rec
ognition by his solos in the SINCE Band
concerts several years ago and his pop
ularity here has steadily increased since
that time. He will carry with him on
the concert stage the good wishes of
scores Of friends in his home city.
