Tha producers of tha Waits Dream sought in despair for a tenor at the beginning of thla season.

It soon became evident that aono ot the tenors who were known la American light opera would do. The man who waa casting the piece next sougnt oat the Metropolitan Opera House, and ho waa there referred to Henry Wolfaohn, the concert manager. Mr. Wolfaohn waa confident that he could find a tenor, and he Immediately telephoned Mr. Johnson, who at first was not Inclined to listen to the proposal.

Of course, I hare sung In concerts and oratorios for some yeara, I came to Hew York from Toronto eight years ago whan I was 20 yeara old, and immediately began to atudy.

He said: "The beginning ot tho Christian religion Is tha love tor the founder of Christianity. An Invariable attribute of the Christian life and relationship Is the spirit of openness and of honesty.

There are three types of men we meet the man who la on our side, the one who la on the other side, and the one who la on neither side, or at least conceals from ma neareat friend and acquaintance on which able oe ia.
