He is pos sessed of a range that is and his voice is sufficient to obtain a good climax. Flattering criticism hy musical experts in var- ious parts of the country have follow sd Mr. Wells' work where he has ap- peared. Francis Roger: in volume the baritone, is a graduate of Harvard university, who hag studied extensively in France, Germany and Ttaly. Tn 1909 he was secured by Madame Sembrich to as- sist her on her transcontinental tour, Pverywhere he met with success and adequate, | the officers of the union have secured an art that should fill this end of the program to perfection. Madame Inder-Kelsey made her debut Novem- ber 24, 1904, and from that moment She w an artistic power to be reck- oned with and her rise in American musical ‘history is considered phenom- enal. She has also secured an envi- able reputation in Europe and has 0 made a reputation in Cincinnati where, with the holding of a concert, Madame Rider-Kelsey’'s name has always been found on the program. Other cities have rang with praise of her work, especially with the New York Sympunony, Philharmonic and ‘Theodore Thomas orchestras. She has attained the reputation of being the oaly American trained singer who ha ever been honored with the principal role in a Covent Garden production. The art of pure singing in its highest sense is probably not better compre- nended by any singer in the world to- day than by Madame Rider-Kelsey. | Her full, rich voice, her temperament, her special training and her intelle tual viewpoint, as well as her delight- fui personality, form an ideal combi- nation that has made her so phenom- enally successful. Professor T.aubin’s ability as a di- rector is well known to local people, he having displayed his talents on many occasions. As organist at the South church, his work was of the highest standard.
