the big enthusing, good-nature-niak-ing
events of the season. Ciccolini,
the distinguished Italian tenor, is
attracting much favorable comment
and finding unusual favor. He sings
several selections from grand opera
masterpieces and afterwards inter
prets delicate ballads. The great
tenor is not only captivating music
lovers, but is also scoring a very
decided popular hit.
