Invitations have been issued to the music lovers of Neillsville and vicinity for a recital to be given by Miss Marie Kaiser, the beautiful and popular New York concert soprano.

This is Miss Kaiser's first tour since her appearance as principal soloist with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and a rare treat is in store for local music lovers. We understand Miss Kaiser will in some way attempt the seemingly impossible feat of singing duets with herself.
