Years Old
SEATS SELLING
RAPIDLY FOR
McCORMACK
To those who have had the priv
ilege of hearing John McCormack,
the great tenor, who will be heard at
Poli's next Sunday afternoon, there
must always remain, in addition to
the memory of his wonderful voice,
the memory of a personality that
charms at once and continues to hold
its charm.
"Personality," a word freuently
abused in its use alone explains the
power with which John McCormack
sways his hearers. From the mo
ment that he walks upon the stage
with that buoyant . air of his, until
reluctantly, at the end of his pro-
grom, the audience allows him to de
part, he grips the heart and mind of
those who hear him.
Rightly has McCormack been
named the "Song Painter," for, as
he sings he sways his audience with
the sentiment of each song and seems
almost to visualize it, as it were.
A large and beautiful talent is that
of McCormack's to be able to give
such exquisite pleasure, as he does,
through the medium of music. And a
beautiful talent is it also that he
had a charm, and an influence, that
are lasting. Perhaps one of the rea
sons that one enjoys him so much is
that he sings, with but few excep
tions, in English, and after all, we
like to understand what we are list
ening to.
Seats for next Sunday s concert are
now on sale at Steinert's, 915 Main
street.
ALWAYS!
The salary roll goes on continues
to increase over at Mickey Neilan's
studio, where the latest acquisition
is Marion Fairfax, who has left the
Famous Players-Lasky fold, where
she has been for a long time, to write
scripts for all the forthcoming Neilan
productions.
