THE NEW YORK TIMES, Aug. 11, 1940

* Alessandro Bonci death (1st report)
* Italian lyric tenor - bel canto singing

The top of page 31 has a on column heading: "ALESSANDRO BONCI, LYRIC TENOR, DIES" with subheads and photo. (see) I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news of the day. Complete 1st section only with all 34 pages, rag edition in very nice condition.
