GREAT
ARTIST
COMING
SEVERAL
WEEKS
AGO
an
outstanding
man-and-wife
concert
stage
team
visited
Prince
Rupert
and
we
had
occasion
to
comment
on
the
paucity
of
the
attendance
and
to
chide
even
the
music
lovers
o
the
city
for
their
lack
of
interest
and
failure
to
turn
out.
Now,
it
is
announced,
the
Civic
Centre
lias
undertaken
an
even
more
ambitious
project
of
this
nature
in
bringing
to
the
city
Kenneth
Spencer,
internationally
famous
negro
basso,
who
has
been
booked
to
sing
here
on
April
14.
This,
we
do
not
,
need
to
emphasize,
will
be
one
of
the
outstanding
events
in
the
annals
of
good
music
in
Prince
Rupert
In
order
that,
not
only
the
music
lovers
but
everyone
in
Prince
Rupert
may
have
the
opportunity
of
hearing
this
great
artist,
two
public-spirited
focal
business
concerns
have
agreed
to
underwrite
'the
recital
and
make
reasonable
admission
fees
possible.
The
Civic
Centre
people
are
to
be
commended
on
their
courage
in
bringing
Spencer
to
Prince
Rupert
and
appreciation
is,
due
the
business
people
who
have
underwritten
the
affair
and
all
cen-cerned
with
its
promotion.
Prince
Rupert
people
should
consider
it
a
stroke
of
good
fortune
that
Spencer
is
to
be
heard
here
at
"
all,
much
less
having
to
be
reminded
that
if
thev
miss
hearing
him
it
will
be
something
thev
will
have
cause
to
regret.
Spencer
is
an
artist
who
not
only
appeals
to
the
lovers
of
good
music
but
to
those
of
even
the
most
common-place
taste.
There
need
be
no
doubt
but
that
Spencer
will
stand
them
up.
The
question
Will
be
who
gets
there
first,
