Particularly gratifying is it to
hear that John Mccormack is to
be with us again, as they say COL
loQuially, in the flesh. His re-
cital during the Winter season,
announced today by Mrs. wilson
Greene, should be of especial in

but to the city at large, since his
recent debut in the cinema has
increased Mr.. McCormack's fol-
