TAIT, This, the most expensive artistic engagement ever entered into for New Zealand, will introduce to this country a singer whose, name ia a household word the whole world over, and who is now at the height of his success and in. the prime of his powers. Endowed with a wonderful voice, he fe equally gifted as an actor. In the rendering of each song he depicts the characteristics of the role to which it belongs so graphically that one might imagine he were made-up and dressed for the part. To hear Chaliapin is the privilege of the present generation, who have never heard, the like. He is undoubtedly the GREATEST LIVING SINGER GREATEST LIVING SINGER and -the most outstanding figure in the musical world of to-day. A feature of his singing is his wonderful range, from, the great o^gari-like bass fortissimo to the sweetest tenor-like tones and the softest whisper* In each he is superb. As a noted London critic said: One cannot adequately describe in words the great Russian's interpretations of song. Only by listening to him can any idea of his art be obtained. One o£ the secrets of his success is that he 'lives' each songmakes it actually a part of himself for the time being." To hear Chaliapin sing ia an experience that no oae will ever forget. Now thai Caruso has gone, there ia only one figure in the world of song to-day that .looms as large— CHALIAPIN!
