Men who sing and play before the public May have started their musical careers with the most immaculate purity of ambifion, but constant adulation aud the egotism which is inherent 10 every human usually alfers thar outlook, and in some measure they beeome materially minded. Paul Robesou could make un euormous inrome by consenting to tour the country, the world, singing his fine choice of songs with that splendid voice of his. For him it would be the line of least resistance, the simplest, the wisest thing he could do if the accumulation of a fortune were his ambition. But he is the kind of man who would sacrifice any money to stop and study a form of musical expression which interests him."-Radio Reporter of "Daily Mail."
