Reports from those cities in which John
McCormack -Jias been singing 'recently
are to the effect 'that he is In remarkable
voice just now, and those who have heard
him in his new repertoire of songs say
that a treat is In store for Fhlladelphlaos
when the Irish tenor appears at the
Academy of Music on the evening of Tues
day, November 9. He spent all of Sep
tember "trying out" new songs, over 500
of which had been sent him during the
previous six months. Of these he
selected 35.

Jongleur") ....Massenet

pearance with the Philadelphia. Orchestra,
Although Mr Scott is well known In
Philadelphia, and has appeared with great
success Jn leading roles In opera In
Europe, with tha Chicago-Philadelphia
Opera Company, Ije has never been heard

full measure of Mr. Scott's artistic suc
cess has been shown in his engagement
for leading roles at the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York, for the coming

bert, the second Hahn. Galloway and
Siviori Levey.

-who. .attempted to win. American successes,
f.rn-t Van Dresser, the young -Imeri-.
can soprano, who will be. heard In Wlth
erspoon Hall on tne afternoon of Mon
day, November 1, was one of the most
successful.
Although she had sung most of the im
portant opera, roles in Em-ope and had
appeared on the Continent Trlth excep
tional success as a-lledcr Jiner. she came
to America ylrtnallyamknown.
