TEN0R'S STORY
SHOWS ABILITY
Albert Lindquistt =; is soloist
With Minneapolis
. Symphony.

Albert Lindquist, tenor soloist, with
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra,
which appears April II at the Metro
politan opera house.. offers a.. most
unusual example of youth, talent and
energy. g. =. +.
A native of Chicago, he was a stu
dent at the Chicago university when
his voice first attracted attention. IT
was OF the pure. bfrd-like quality
and it became the delightHof the COLI
lege glee club and all who attended
Its concerts. ( e 81 = & s.sts
1t so, happened. that the famous
Italian tenor, A~lessandro Bonci, heard
him on one of these occasions, and
sought the young Singer out for the
purpose Of urging that he adopt a
musical career. He added many warn
ings that such a career means untir-
ing work, fearing that the boy, like
many another who is gifted, might be
too easily satisfied with his attain
Iments. i"
He need not have been appre-
hensive, for young Lindquist was a
true son of his Scandinavian ancestry
in that he possessed perseverance and
the unlimited capacity for hard work.
His opportunity for really, impress
ing the public came first through an
operate pageant, which ran for five
weeks in Chicago. At the end Of that
engagement his future seemed as
sured, although he then began active
study with redoubled energy and. de.
termination to succeed in his voca.
ton.
The result can be plainly read in his
subsequent record. He has appeared
as soloist with the New York Sym.
phony orchestra, the New York Phil.
harmonic society, the New York Ora.
torio and Beethoven societies, and
the Philadelphia Symphony orchestra
among many other organizations. His
repertoire. is amazingly large, and
