``His Master's Voice"

OPENING NIGHTS OF ITALIAN GRAND OPERA AT COVENT GARDEN

Tuesday, May 20th. CARUSO NIGHT (" Pagliacci ")

What the London '*Daily Telegraph" Bays: It is many a long year since such a rush to the box-

office was witnessed as occurred on the morning of the announcement that on Tuesday next Caruso would re-appear in... Pagliacci.' By telephone and telegram came a record number of applications for seats. By eleven o'clock-an hour before the sale of tickets com- menced- the house for Tuesday was sold out, at greatly enhanced yrices. "-" Daily Telegraph," 7i Iuy 17th.

Thursday, May 22nd. MELBA NIGHT (" La Boheme ")

What the London "Daily Telegraph" says : The tremendous esteem in which the prima donna is

held, may be guessed from the fact that within one hour of the first announcement of the performance on Thursday evening next, every seat in the house was sold ; and at eleven o clock in the morning there was a queue of 300 or 400 people outside the box-

office, waiting their turn to buy seats that could not be sold.'-"Daily Telegraph," May 19th.

became quite so famous as a humorist he wrote this

pretty serenade, of which Mr. Hubert Eisdell gives a rendering instinct with both sweetness and vigour. Our new tenor, whose records have met with such sensational success, imparts to "Awake" the same charm and distinctiveness which has made the extraordinary success of his

(Speed 80) Published by Boosey & Co.

Percy Fletcher

A SONG somewhat difficult

to class. The charms of Kitty are tenderly dwelt

upon by Mr. Charles Tree, as though he truly worshipped and adored her. At the same time her failings-what a pity-are not forgotten ; in fact, the con- tents of a calculating bachelor's mind are intimately revealed. The sense of novelty we have come to expect from Mr.Charles Tree is amply satisfied in " Kitty."

12-inch Record, 5s. 6d. The Valley by the Sea Adams

ONE of those charming romantic ballads of which Stephen Adams

has long possessed the secret ; its simple strains being given with touching effect by Madame Edna Thornton. The line-

Know you the belfry tower o'erhead,"

brings us to a section most significantly sung, while the rendering as a whole preserves the simple heartfelt character which belongs to this song.

is here heard in one

oft-recurring phrase "Dear love, remember me." The

middle verse:- "Bear her in mind in my

contains passages of com- pelling interest, while the

Miss Ruby Heider virility and dramatic power of the climax gives this record

a high place among the performances of this famous lady tenor. Miss Ruby Helder

recently had the distinction of being engaged for a millionaire's private concert in America, having to make the journey specially for this one appearance. It is said that Caruso heard her wonderful voice and was so impressed that he secured for her an engagement at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York; she will appear in tenor

roles at the next operatic season there.

An Englishman in a New York tram gazed stupefied at the ugliness of a motherly person's baby opposite - gazed so long and hard that the mother jerked out "Rubber!" "Thank God," was the retort, "I feared it was real ! " (Speed 81)
