ing, also elocution and dramatic art,
any time after July A. / will also
Keep up my usual classes In art. UpI
to this time have only taken those
that came and asked for lessons, L
have done no advertising In any way
and only my most intimate friends
know of my study In years past II
feel that it is no more than right that
the public should know something of
my work along these lines.
Following is list of the teachers
under whom / have studied during
the last four years up to that time
so much of my work counted for so
little that win not mention 1t in de-
tail; tho i have been student Of
these subjects under various teachers
since early girlhood.
In elocution and dramatic art have
taken 100 hours Of Miss Lillian Court
ney Snow, head of Courtney School of
Elocution and Dramatic Art, Spokane,
Wash, and graduate and post graduate
of the Greeley Institute Of Elocution
and Dramatic Art, New York. This
Is equivalent to over one year of work
In the school, Also studied 1870 hours
of Miss Olive. Grant Melee, graduate
of the Greeley school, New York.
Making altogether work enough to
nearly cover the course Of three years
required for graduation.
Miss Katherine Ridgeway owes most
of her success to Miss Greeley, the
originator Of the Greeley school, and
in fact says that she has found no
equal either at home or abroad. Her
work is wonderful in the way it brings
out the originality of the pupil, rather
than, lacking ON the surface, as the
old way of teaching did,
| In my voice ! will begin with my
study with Mr.. Edward Kennedy, one
of Spokane's foremost teachers. When
began my work with him l had al
most no voice left, what was left would
crack in places and my throat ached
when / sang. l took Of Mr.. Kennedy
every day for a year, equivelant to
nearly four years under the ordinary
way Of taking two lessons per week
My voice was entirely restored In a
few months and / could sing hours
without the slightest fatigue.
j also studied Of Miss Olivia Dahl
Balleau of Spokane, whose work is
well known by many here, she has been
student of teachers in all the leading
countries of Europe and at one time In
Spokane had every hour every day in
the week filled, so great was her sue
cess.
Next | took of Miss Gertrude Smith,
graduate of The Institute of Musical
Art, New York, considered the very
best school of music in the land She is
also a graduate or Valparaiso and
studied four years with Sir George
Henschel, London.
I studied last with Mrs. Eleanor
Osborne Buckley, of Spokane, just
fresh from her studies abroad who
made her home for three years with
the famous Sir George Henschel, Lon
don. Mrs. Buckley had studied of many
of the leading teachers of America, be-
! fore going to Europe. Eleanor Os-
borne Buckley made her debut in the
great Royal Albert Hall. London, be-
fore an audience of 5000 people. She
was recalled no less than seven times
She was chosen as soloist with the
Scottish Orchestra for the dedicatory
concerts of the New Usher Hall, In
Edinburgh
Critics of Europe speak of her
faultless breath control perfect die
ton in English, French and German
My work with the last three teach
ers Is equivelant to nearly three years
work as took lessons every day, some
times taking two per day. One IL
sight reading and ear training this
other voice.
