Nye Triumphs Again
At Fairfield Concert

The Community concert given at
Fairfield, Thursday evening, was one
of the most noteworthy and enjoy
able ever given in this vicinity and
was attended by large and enthus-
iastic audience.
When Roger A. Nye, Fairf1eld's own
tenor, who created such a sensation
at the Maine State Festival this year.
appeared he received a grand ovation,
and his singing occasioned further
demonstrations of the wild enthu
siasm that his hearers so plainly felt
His program was well chosen to
show off the beauties of his excep-
tional voice, and as he went from
the very classical "Whereer You
Walk" to the religious "Panis Angel
;cus," then to the lighter Nepolitan
numbers "Carme" and Nina" and
finally to the lovely English numbers,
he was able by his warmth and bean
ty of tone, perfect diction, and relig-
ious fervor to portray each emotion
