\ Low Brems, the popular comedian,
who will be seen at the Opera House
will bear ready testimony to the
fact that there are hundreds of young
men scattered over the country who
are sent adverse to smearing their
faces with grease paint and who are
confident that they have unusual a
bility in the musical line. Where
ever Mr.. Brems appears there are al
ways ambitious amateurs waiting to
interview him. If they are, in their
own estimation, comedians, Mr..
Brems does not waste his valuable
time but he is always on the look
out for good voices and willing to
give a singer tryout.
In Boston a few weeks ago he
was awakened at an hour which is
considerably earlier than his custom
to arise and the boy who knocked at
his door handed the card of a young
man who requested that he be al
lowed to sing 70 rthe comediad, with
possible engagement as the object.
Mr.. Brems sent word that he would
meet the party at the thatre in an
hour and after a hasty breakfast
sent for his musical director to aug
ment the show.
The singer was allowed to select
his own song and chose one that was
entitled to retirement on the age

is noted for his kindness so he asked

| second attempt was even more dis
| astrous than the first and Mr.. Brems
as gently as possible told the singer
that he would be unable to find a
place for him with the Company.
"Mr. Brems," said the disappointed
singer, "can you suggest anything
that will help me to correct the de-
feet in my singing?"
Sure" came the answer, "af

that this twig leaned against a big
wasp nest. Mr.. Fox did see that 1t

wasps flying over his head. but they

One wasp flew on his nose. Mr.. Fox

keep him in doubt about their anger.
