ALBERT LINDQUEST, TENOR
Though only 22 years old Mr. Lindquist is one of the great tenors of America, as those who heard him at the Festival last year will agree. Last summer he was leading tenor in the great pageant "Darkness and Light" at the Chicago Auditorium which was visited by 500,000 people. Cherance Whitehill, the leading Wagnerian interpreter at the Chicago Company, said he knew Wagner's deeply beautiful voice, and he can be America's greatest tenor." Titto Ruffo, the world's greatest baritone, has offered to instruct him for grand orchestra next summer, and it is probable Mr. Lindquist will go after completing his engagement with the St. Paul Orchestra.
MISS ELSIE BAKER
Miss Baker is one of the most widely known contralto in America from the fact that she has made a large number of the favorite Victor Gramophone records. Especially is that true of the songs of Carrie Jacobs Bönch which she had recorded. While in Lawrence she will sing Miss Bond's favorite song "A Perfect Day."
Some Stars That K. U. Will Hear
MADAM ALICE NIELSEN
Prima Donna Soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company
Madam Nielsen is one of the famous American singers, having been born in Tennessee. While yet in her teens she was leading soprano of the famous Bostonians, and in a short time was touring the country at the head of her own opera company, so great was her popularity. In 1904 she appeared in London at the Covent Garden Theatre, singing with Caruso and Melba. She leaves for the London season next year and later at La Renaissance, her last American appearance this season. She is a regular member of the N. Y. Metropolitan and the Boston opera companies and her name is a household word in musical circles.
FREDERICK WHEELER, BARITONE
Mr. Wheeler is another artist who is known to the whole country by the records he has made for the Victor Gramophone Co. Miss Baker has done for contrattoro songs he has done for bassist John Ransom and in a kindness shown in this way he has never been heard in person in Lawrence.
MADAM ROTHWELL-WOLFF
When Henry W. Savage brought "Madam Butterfly" to America and took the opera from coast to coast in 500 performances, the leading soprano in the title role was Elizabeth Wolff, who was the first to sing the part in English. Since becoming Madan Rothwell-Wolff she has devoted herself to concert singing, both as a soloist and as a member of her work, and though she then an offer last summer from the Paris Opera House at the suggestion of Jean de Reszkle, her teacher. She has never before been heard in Lawrence.
