Miss Jessie Masters, who for the
past five years has been identified
with Washington music, and has
made her home here. has Just re-
turned from q series of concerts In
the South which have included ap-
pearances in Atlanta, Augusta and
Rome, Ga. The critics in every place
have given her unstinted praise. Miss
Masters has sung in numbers Of re-
citals during the past four years and
has attracted the attention OF the
great critics of the country, but this
has been her first tour as one of
Americas stars. Engagements for
nearly every instance, together with
the press reports Of her art, show
what the verdict OF the public has
been.
Miss Masters is a native OF Warren,
Ohio. She attended the Virginia Col.
lege for Women, at Roanoke, Va,
where she met her present teacher,
Albert W. Harmed. OF this city, In
1908. and with him has continued her
study. In 1919 she began to appear
before public audiences in the smaller
communities and has risen steadily
until this year, when she was engaged
by the Daughters OF the American
Revolution at Atlanta for a concert
to be given in the auditorium OF that
city. Miss Masters was assisted by
Hans Kronold. the Polish 'cellist, in
her appearances.
Here are a few of the remarks of
various critics on the subject of this
talented young lady and her voice:
The Constitution, Atlanta, Ca,
March 9. 191s.-Miss Masters has
youth and beauty to accentuate the
impression made by her voice, a con-
tralto Of even excellence in every
register.
The Atlanta Georgian-Miss Masters
gave a varied program, which re-
vealed the freshness and charm of
her voice. She has a winning per-
sonality and her youth and beauty
made an especial appeal.
The Atlanta Journal-Miss Masters
made most pleasing impression from
her opening number, Beethoven's
Song OF Penitence," rendered with
fine dramatic effect, to the patriotic
When the Boys Come Home" which
closed the program. Her voice is a
full. rich contralto and her enuncia-
tion was so perfect that her slightest
phrasing could be heard in the rear
Of the auditorium. MY Heart Ever
