!BURKE, IRISH TENOR,
TO SING IN WASHINGTON

Washington music lovers will be
interested in learning that Tom
Burke, the celebrated Irish tenor,
introduced by Melba in the Royal
Opera Company, at Covent Garden.
London, will give his second concert
IN this country at the National
Theater on Tuesday afternoon, oc-
tober 5th. Mr.. Z. A. Well, general
representative for William Morris,
the New York theatrical manager
under whose direction Burke will
make his first American concert
tour, was in Washington yesterday
and announced that he had ar
ranged with Mr.. T. Arthur Smith
to act as local manager for the con-
cert.
Burke will make his American
debut at the New York Hippodrome
on Sunday evening. October 3rd
and judging from the praise heaped
upon him by the music critics of
London, his advent in this country
should presage the arrival" of an
other famous tenor. Burke made his
debut at Covent Garden just a year
ago, having been sponsored by Mel
ba, with whom he appeared there in
La Boheme." AS the principal tenor
of the Royal Opera Company this
season, he appeared under the guild
ance of Sir Thomas Beecham, in the
three new Puccini one-act operas,
The premiere was a notable occa
sion for Burke, when, after the per-
formance, Puccini himself brought
the young tenor before the audience
and publicly proclaimed him the
foremost of all young tenors who
had qualified to sing in the COM
poser's works.
