3 LOCAL SINGERS OFFERED PLAGES ON LYCEUM PROGRAM

In the Orchestra The Trombone

Thoinaa Metcalf, for the past eighteen months a resident of thiB city,

and one of the best known singers j Kent out by the Lyceum bureaus, with! Walter I'olk and Herbert Bundy, also;

f Klchmond, have been made an offer by the Coit Lyceum bureau of Cleveland, one of the best known organizations, lecturers and entertainers, to form a quartet with J. K. Porter, a Chicago musical director of wide reputation, for a six niontha winter and a two months summer engagement, the latter to begin In July next. .Mr. Metcalf, a basso, has been connectcd with the leading lyeeum

bureaus and managers in this country lor the past twenty-five years, and was; one of Carter's Carolina Jubilee Sing-' era who helped to dedicate the Rich-j moiid chautauqua in 1901?, and appear-j ed with an aggregation of singers on' the chnutauqua program here last summer. I .Mr. .Metcalf has just returned from a six week's tour in New York and l't rmsylvania under the management of (leorge II. (ilaser of Chicago, and is considering 1!15 engagements. Tf this quartet is formed, three ofi the singers will come from this cityj and will add prestige to tlie various! kinds of talent that have originated: lie re. ; .Mr. .Metcalf makes this city his resi-1 deuce on account of it being the old : home of his wife, formerly .Miss Nellie! Goins, and Mr. Polk has been in Rich-1 moiid for the past two years und has j also married a Richmond young; woman. -, Mr. Polk's stage name is De Soto' and he lias traveled with various musical and theatrical companies. ! All three have excellent voices and, j with Mr. Porter, who has been with i the Coit bureau for fifteen years, will1 make one of the best male quartets j on the rond. The formation of the quartet turns j upon the decision of Mr'. Pouk who has I not determined as yet whether he will enter this field again or not.

The Symphony's majestic motif's trend, Was colored by a ravishment of tone, Which, as a rainbow spans the ocean's foam, Embodies every tine that art can rend From off the palette. Or as we might send A pleading prayer to heaven's loftiest throne To listen to the world's great human moan For justice, the while we fear to offend. An image of a vast cathedral's arch Where tremble rays from flickering altar lights, And thunders out the organ's vibrant sound To the slow, solemn, apostolic march Of vested priests." While timid acolytes Prostrate themselves in worship all profound. Esther Griffin White.
