Mr. Geoftrey O'Hara, the Canadian {& grandson of the late Rev. F. W. Dobbs, rector of St. John's chureh, Portsmouth, made a great sensation when he sang in Quebec city a few weeks ago. L'Evenement had a front page story™in French about the singer, whose musi¢ 1s so well-known in Kingston. Translated into Eng- lish, it reads as follows: ------ Mr. Géoffrey O'Hara, composer and prince of song-writers, of New York, 1s fn Quebec. Mr. O'Hara came to attend the inauguration of the Chateau Frontenac on Saturday, and he agreed to extend his visit to our city to be present at the ban- quet which will bring to an end, on Thursday, the convention" of the Railway Accountants of Canada and the United States. It is upon the invitation of Mr. E. W. Beatty, pre- sident of the C.P.R., that the bril- lant composer has agreed to spend from his success on Saturday, al the Inauguration of the new wing of the "Frontenac," the will add a charming _ Bote to the banquet of Thursday evening, at-the Chatean, Mr. O'Hara is a Canadian, He was | born in' Chatham, Opt., the son of an eminent lawyer, and he is a brother |of Mr. F. C. T. O'Hara, the very dis- tinguished Deputy Minister of Trade and Commerce of Canada, in Ottawa. After brilliant studies in Chatham, Mr, O'Hara, who was gifted with a remarkable musical talent, entered the career of arts and began in New York as a composer. His great suc- cess dates back from 1913 when the celebrated Enrico Caruso, the great. {est world temor, sang a pretty ro- mance of O'Hara's which had the greatest vogue all over the States. The war. brought back the young composer to Canada, and he offered his services to the Canadian army. He wished to fight for his King, but the heads of the army thought, with reason, that he could render just as good service with his artist's lyre, and he visited all the military camps, preparing our soldiers to mareh on cheerfully to battle....and to vie tory. 1917 came. The"United States en tered the struggle. Mr. O'Hara was then called back to his country (of adoption) where he spread the same cheerfulness and good humor he had 80 generously distributed amongst Canadian regiments. At the conclusion of hostilities, Mr. Franklin Lane, "Minister of the Interior in Washington, entrusted Mr. Geoffrey O'Hara with a 'task which befitted only a great and stud- fous musician. He was attached to the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the United States and charged with the gathering of all the traditional In- dian music so as to have it taught in the schools for young Indians. There are, in the United States, as well as in Canada, noble descendants of these tribes which helped the first Europeans on this continent to commence the civilization of North America, What a thrilling work, for an artist, to find again and teach to the children of these valorous In- dians the songs which delighted | their ancestors! Mr. O'Hara devoted himself to this work with all his ability, and at the end of a year he had completed his task, which others now pursue in the schools devoted to the young Indians of thé Ameri- can Republic, ~Back in New York, triumphs awaited Mr. O'Hara and, to-day, he is justly considered as the prince of American song-writers. We all know that he fs the author of the charming "Katie" (You're the only girl that I adore), which is just as popular in our country as in the States and which everybody hums with a smile. Our countryman wrote algo, among other songs: "There Is No Death," which was sung with great success by Leon Rothier, of the Metropolitan® Opera, of New York. Another song of Geoffrey O'Hara's, which has much success is "Give a [} + | Man a Horse, He Can Ride..." & few days in our city and, judging ! \ _WHIG » and Cuff Sets, sure to find Prices.

Mr. O'Hara has about music a philosophy which shows that this noble son of Canada....snd of Ire- land was justly gifted so highly. "Everybody likes to sing," Mr. O'Hara sald to us, "apd everybody wants to sing. You know the word of General Grant. 'I know two tunes, one is Yankee Doodle....and "the other is not." All the popular feel- ing is there... ."! _. The author of "Katie" adores classical music and with -such a talent as his he would have made a fortune in interpreting Mozart or Beethovén, for he is not only a good composer but an excellent pianist. His experience taught him that clas- sical music' can hardly reach the mass. There are even exceptionally gifted men who understand nothing about ft. "How many people," sald Mr. O'Hara, "tell you while listening to classical music: "I am anxious to hear a real tune." Mr. O'Hara believes, with all the philosophers, that music is necessary and that artistic value of a country manifests itself in the musical edu- cation of its people.
