No American singer has ever at
tained more enviable position than
Mr. Gamble. his career closely ap-
proae nes the marvellous. Six years ago
Ernest Gamble, an unknown young
man, Just out of his teens, sang a solo
IN one of the concerts at the New
York Chautauqua. Today his name IS
a household word in the land, and
the best musicians in Europe, as we'll
as in our own country, unite in plac-
5ng him at the very head of American
cassos
Mr.. Gamble has set at defiance all
che known presidents governing the
career of artists. In six season she
has filed more than nine hundred
engagements, exclusive Of the time he
spent abroad in study, and yet with
all this severe and exacting work, his
voice today Is as fresh and fiawless as
when he set the greae audience wild
with enthusiasm at the Chsutaaqua
six years ago.
Mr.. CANDLES programs are so ar
ranged as to please both musicians
and laymen, the lovers of the classic
and the large majority which finds its
chief pleasure in ballads and folk
songs. Ancient and rarely heard mu-
sic also obtains a place in his work, as
well as oratorio and operatie selec-
lions. We predict for Mr.. Gamble a
larger success during the coming sea
son than ever before.
There is no better and no more
widely known pianist touring in con
cert work today than Edwin NJ Sho-
zas-t. who is one of the three stars of
Fne Ernest Gamble Recital company.
de has a big repertoire of the stand
ard classics and the products OF the
more modern composers.
Miss Verna Page, the third star of
the company, is a most excellent vio-
linist She Is a beautiful girl with a
most attractive presence. and she
plays with a deal of temperament,
warmth, style and finish, which makes
her work a delight to lovers OF good
music. She depends upon inte-preta-
tion, and beauty and breadth of tone
rather than upon technical exhibition,
for her success
A few of the many press notices
received by this wonderful trio of
musicians are herewith given:
Mr.. Gamble is an artist, a great art
ist. Compass, volume. distinct enun-
citation, purity of information, rich
ness and fexibility, and all that goes
to make a voice perfect are distinctly
in evidence in his singing Reno,
Oklahoma, Bell.
In fawless enuneiation and in I'm
ished technique, we seek his equal;
every note being weighed in the bal
ances aud tossed off beautifully round
ed, aye, we'll nigh peTfect.-Pittsburg
Post.
Speaking of Mr.. Shonert the Belle
vue, Ohio, Gazette says His touch
Is SO powerful, yet velvety, his play
ing Of scales. arpeggios. octaves and
7trills so accurate and brilliant and the
softer passages so full of soul, that
there is no room for criticism. The
finest pianist ever heard here is the
lea.t that can be said Of him
The New Castle, Pa, News has the
following to say of the violinist;
4 beautiful girl, daintily gowned
and able TO play the violin in man
ner to charm the ears of her audience,
was Miss Verna Page, who contributed
so much to the success of the concert.
Graceful and yet soulful, and playing
agith smoothness and ease, Miss Page
WIS a delight to listen to, and her rem
<htions of some of the standard selec-
tons of violin literature will not soon
be forgotten.
Ne predict great success for Miss
Page, for she is one of the few violin
lists we have heard who plays from the
heart 1t was quite refreshing to hear
a violinist who plays with feeling,
taste, warmth and breadth of tone, in
stead of the usual technical displays,
which seem to have taken the place of
true aTt.-Musical Times.
