NOC|le de ate
Ell DEBUT DEL TENOR JOA-
QUIN QUEvEDO EN- Ell TEA
TRIO MUNICIPAL

Grande era la expectation que
existfa entire los amantes Gel arte
por conocer los progresses que en-
Italia habia hecho el tenor Que
vedo, bajo la sombra de uno de
los mas famosos profesores de
canto de Milan. Hace cerca de dos
amos 10 viInos alejarse de nuestras
playas en- busca de nuevoS hori-
zontes hoy nos ofrece, como
buen hijo de esta TERRA, las pri-
micias de su arte. Podemos decir,
en- honor a la verdad, q. las espe-
ranzas de todos sus compatriotas
no fueron defraudadas, en- la ex-
hibici6n que hiciera el yiernes
pr6ximo pasado el joven tenor
portorriqueno Quevedo.
Noche de arte y de sociedad. .
Todo nuestro mundo elegante, y
al decir elegante queremos tam
bien decir educado en- las artes,

al mas indolente en- materia mu-
steal. Nueva oportunidad sc nos
brindaba de yer arrancar al piano
el alma de su arte Ia brillan-
tisirna y afamada pianista criolla
dona Elisa Tavarez. AIgo tambien
que acuciaba al publico era Ell
n6mero de violin que ejecutaria
ei niio Figueroa, quien va desde
temprana edad, descuella gallar-
damente entire los virtuosos del
arco en- nueStra patria.
Podemos decir, sin miedo equi-
vocaciones, que la presentation de
Joaquin Quevedo ante. ell pdblico
de San Juan, fue un verdadero
exitn. Sin fnfulas de crftico, ase-
guramos que los progresses alcan-
zados en- ell extranjero por el novel
tenor han sido marayillosos. Vo.
calizaci6n perfecta, v maestria en-
el sistema de atacar los agudos
con delicadeza; y algo que de La
nueva escuela italiana nos trajo
que por dos veces hizo gala de
clio: la "voce di capo" en- contra
pcsici6n con los finales "mezza
voce" que hasta. ha POGO venian
ejecutando los mejores cantantes.

tudios en- Milan, podemos asegu-
rar que dentro de muy POGO tiem-

Firm in Belief Worlds End
Nears, Reply to Adventist
Statement

Less than twenty.four hours
away from their expected sign Of
the worlds end, a little band of
Romantics today stand fast by. their
belief.
They have implicit faith in the
heavenly communications said to
have been received by Mrs. Mar
garet w. Rowan. leader OF their cult.
They are stalking everything on their
belief
The nightly meeting of the be-
levers at Takoma Park last night
resolved itself into a reply to the
statement against Mrs. Rowan and
her followers issued during the
day by the general conference OF
Seventh Day Adventists, from
which church they are, for the
most part, dissenters.
Tonight the Romantics will hold
what may be their final meeting.
They expect a sign from heaven
shortly after Nottingham omen
visible only to the faithful. After
the meeting, they Will 20 to their
homes and watch.
Edmund Aplin, local leader OF
the Romantics, in replying to the
Adventists' statement last night,
declared that the latter were con
cealing the true prophecies. He
quoted Biblical authority for his
assertion that the signs would not
be seen"
