Jasper County Democrat, Volume 23, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 July 1920 — THE HAMILTON TRIO [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

THE HAMILTON TRIO

This trio, which will appear on the second day of the Chautauqua, presents a varied program of de luxe vocalization. Mr. James Hamilton, whose years of outstanding Chautauqua and Lyceum success have enabled him to build wisely, has selected as associate artists Miss Blanche Raymond, mezzosoprano and accompanist, and Miss Kathryn Strong, contralto. Few companies of this size are able to offer so wide a range of vocal accomplishments.. Trios, duets and solos, both popular and classic, including many of the widelyknown and best-loved ballads, follow each other in quick and happy succession. Some idea of the wonderful work of Mr. Hamilton may be gained by the fact that he was selected as one of the soloists for the great Ann Arbor Spring Festival, held this last May at which time Titta Buffo, Carolina Lazzari, Myrna. Sharlow, Renato Zanelli, and other stars of the opera world appeared. William Sterling Battis also lectures in the afternoon following this company, and again in the evening gives his incomparable Dickens Impersonations.
