Irish tenors have a habit of maintaining their vocal until old age and a fortune tempt thorn to retire, but Comfort, like McCormack, Intends to remain on the stago for a long time. Both" artists are already wealthy, but as both are still In their prime. It is not In the cards for them to nettle down to the lives of country gentlemen on their splendid estates.

It is as a ballad singer that Comfort shines brightest, and Just as he used tn wav the minstrel fans, so he capti vates the vaudeville audiences at the Orpheum.

"Of course, if we were actors In a dramatlo company, I can very readily see how trouble might come about.
