KENWOOD ARM0RY
TO HOUSE NOTED
TEN0R'S CONCERT
Roland Hayes, Greatest Artist
of Race Obtains Fame by
Determination.
Meets Many Obstacles
Recently Returned from Sue.
cessful Concert Tour
of Europe.
Meets Many Obstacles

Roland Hayes, noted tenor and to-
day the greatest artist of our race,
has reached the pinnacle of fame by
sheer determination to achieve sue
cess in spite of obstacles and hard
ships.
Possibly no novel written is more
sensational than the bare narrative
of the career of this artist who is to
sing Sunday evening, March 9Th, at
the Kenwood Armory, Mr.. Hayes is
to be presented by Mrs. Carlyle
Scott. He will be accompanied by
Mr.. William Lawrence, who is a
pianist of rare ability.
Only short time ago Mr.. Hayes
was poor farm boy in Georgia work
ing at odd jobs, and, in fact, any
kind of work in order to educate
himself while supporting his family.
He sang as he worked and people
noticed his voice which not only con-
tanned the mellow sweetness charac-
teristic of our race, but was entirely
different and remarkable.
Fired with ambition, Roland Hayes
concentrated everything upon train
ing it.
Appears in Europe.
Encouraged to try his fortunes in
Europe, he went to London in 1920.
where he barely managed to finance
a recital.
He was rewarded by immediate
success, drawing the musical atten-
tion of England. He sang fifteen
more recitals that season to packed
London audiences.
All musical Europe was talking
about the new tenor and he whose
voice was as silk, whose French and
German songs were impeccable and
model for the singers of those
countries.
Roland Hayes tour of America in
1928 will not soon be forgotten. 1t
had seemed in Europe that a tenor
could not be more in demand or
more highly praised. But so it
proved. This and the subsequent
tour could scarcely heighten his fame
but have extended through our
southern and western states and into
Canada.
There have been overflowing audi
ences at concert after concert. In
December of last year when he ap-
peared at the University Armory
sponsored by Mrs. Scott, more than
5000 persons applauded for half an
hour at the close of his concert hop
ing that he would give one more
number.
Demonstrations took place when he
appeared with leading Symphony or
chestras, numberless eulogies and ar
ticles in leading magazines, lauded
him.
Remains Natural.
Surrounded by praise from critics
the world over, Roland Hayes re-
mains simple and modest, sober of
bearing, level-headed, in a word
himself. If he dwelt on it, he would
doubtless be appalled, by the impor-
tance the world has made of him.
But he is simply absorbed in his art
and true to it. Intent only on sing
ing, he has made it about the finest
in the world. And this singing of
itself has placed him among the
great.

ATTORNEYSACA|N
DEN0UNCE SMITH
Names Used in a Manner to
Mislead the Public,
They Allege.

The attention of the public is
called to the fact that we lawyers
would not have published any state
ment concerning Mr.. o. J. Smiths
meeting at Pilgrim Baptist Church if
he had not used our names in a man
ner which we believe was intended
to mislead the public; and further,
we objected to his plan because he
proposed to charge an admission fee
of fifty cents and furnish lunch at a
Sunday afternoon meeting in a
church to hear tribute to our hon
ored dead. That we were right in
that objection is shown by the fact
that many of those who went to the
