Mr. Gookins is Of Scotch English de-
scent, a native OF. Illinois, and comes. Of a
long line Of musical and literary antece-
dents. who have been more or less promi-
ncnt In the affairs Of their State. At
the age of fifteen he began his musical
career as a church organist About this
tinle his voice developed, and, attracting
much attention. he was Immediately EN-
gagged as basso In q quartette choir.

to that of a public singer, teacher and
conductor. He has served as conduc-
tor OF the Costa Club OF Chicago. the

The Musical Leader, OF Chicago, Of
June. 1902, has this to say about Mr.
Gooklns work at Clinton, Iowa.
Reports Of May Festivals from va
rious parts Of the country certainly JUS
tify the statement that the one given at
Clinton, Iowa, has not been surpassed
ether In artistic or financial success. In
deed, one might state more correctly
that of all heard from, not one rivals that

one hundred and sixty voices with so
much ability that big works. such as

tinction that the artists who sang the
solo parts were delighted with the per-
formance. Experienced singers, such as
Mrs. Clark Wilson and Glenn Hall, en-
press the opinion that Mr.. Gookins' con-
Quoting Of the chorus was in every way
exceptional, the tone, shading. even bal

At present Mr.. Gookins is taking well
earned vacation In Europe where he
will remain until September 10Th, when
no returns to Clinton and reopens his
studio, where he Is as popular with a
large class Of vocal students as he Is as

Al time when musical clubs were not In
organization. BY reason Of his enthu-
siasm he interested many OF our leading
singers in the formation of tho Apollo
Club. Since last September he has been
the director OF this club at their weekly
and careful criticism of the work hey
had undertaken.
The same journal under date OF Decem-

Naturally gifted musically and OF very
