Famous Singer Will Appear in Per son at Colonial Theatre Tonight. . CHARLES H. ruZ CATHERINE EE MEDICI in EKKNCH EPISODE. , Richard J. Jose, who will appear at the Colonial theatre tonight, is known the world over as America's foremost contra-tenor. He first claimed attention when as a1 lad of 10 he was a burly miner of the Ne vada camp in which he lived, and con sidered at that time the wildest spot in America; thrown into a gambling hall and commanded by the hilarious e-atherine to sing. The boy was cold, his sockless feet were lacerated by his well-worn shoes nnd hunorer pains gnawed at his little body as he sang in a sweet plaintive tone "Silver Threads Among the Gold." The place was soon hushed in silence, the roulette wheel stopped, the clinking of the chips and coins were silent and from that gathering of fearless gamblers not a sound came, while most of them were actually crying. iWhen the song was finished and the tension was at the breaking point, someone said, "Do you known any more songs, Bub?" Dick nodded and started to sing "Nearer My God to Thee." Men who had not seen the inside of a church for years removed their hnts and fell to their knees on the floor. The boy was forced to sine this hymn three times. All gambling was suspended for the night, and the boy's presence threat ened to put the place out of business. They gave him food and offered him drink. The latter the boy refused, and un to the present day, with "Sil ver Threads" above his own brow, Richard Jose has never known the taste of liquor in any form. After the episode in the gambling house, the news spread about the camp how the boy's singing stopped the game and from that moment the start of Richard J. Jose's career be gan its ascendency, which resulted in the world being given the benefit of hearing the most melodious voice ever bestowed as a heavenly gift upon man. For twenty years or more, Mr. Jose has been recognized as the world's greatest contra-tenor. Mothers have told unto their daughters, fathers un to their sons, of the sweetness of the tones of this immortal vocalist. a5myldawieinN Peach es Peeled peaches, handsome, bright, soft, mellow peaches, free from skin.
