Raleigh that braved the worst weather the' weather works ever invented j for a conccrt night, Jo heai Melba and Kubelifc; that crowd ed to bear Farrar and Werren rath; that listened sptlbound to the music of Paderewski, that delighted in Frieda Hempel, Aorato, Borci, Gadski, Calve, Nordics; that felt for the charm of Alice Nfclson and May Peter soos and laughed with Harry Lauder, may look forward to such a winter of musical ; treats as the city has never bad before;; The bringing of these four artists to Raleigh together t^ilh the lesser lights who accompany them and vary their programs, is the biggest undertaking that the Rotary C!tib has ever at tempted for the pleasure and profit of Raleigh* Wherever ^McHber Macbrte" is [ loved and stt ig, and that is sure ly in evety lUtle wayside town, | ior Sother Machree", Mother of Mi ne," "A Little Bit of Haven", and all those other songs that somehow get hold of] the heart, ace too cldsely allied with McCor mack lor one-Jo know the songs without rot singer. There's probably no wfrere aJVictroht without a Mc Cormack record, and if the vote were taken Raleigh would doubt less rather hear John McCormack than any other artist who could be brought to tUfe city. It is pro bably because he is Iri^t born in Athlon* Ireland, that John McCormack knows how to in terprtt in songs the hearts of American people in a way that no others can. While he has been with Ac- Metropolitan Grand stoK m opera airs, it is for the simple : hsunting melodies, songs of his own native Ireland, which be learned to sing as a boy little dreaming of this future fame, that he is known and loved. ; McCormack is now an Amci i ' cjo citizen and during the war he raised $100,000 for.
