MILDRED BRYARS,
contralto, is winning־ the unanimous praise of the press as a recitalist and, oratorio singer. She recently returned from a Western tour, and indication of her success may he gauged from the following excerpts: “Mildred Bryars is gifted with a fine stage presence and a voice of great range and even development.”—(The St. Louis Globe Democrat.) “Her voice is a contralto of full rich quality.”—(Lancaster, Pa., Examiner.) The St. Louis Post Dispatch is quoted as follows: “Miss Bryars’ principal selection was the aria, Ah, Mon Fils, from Meyerbeer’s The Prophet. In this selection she demonstrated the range of her voice. All the songs showed its rich, reposeful quality.”
