brilliance of the soprano came cas-
lily to her. This happened before
very long.
But America had heralded Rose
hampton as a brilliant contralto,
and would, she feared, never quite
disassociate her from that role.
She wanted her new-found DRAM
attic soprano voice to be accepted
at face value, and wisely. therefore,
chose to try it out in Europe where
there were no preconceptions re-
garding her voice. -..'
Miss Bampton's renown as an

EDITED BY ANNE HARDY DAVIS

When Rose hampton, attractive
young American contralto of the
Metropolitan opera company ap-
pears in song recital on Monday
evening, January 18, at the Wilson
school auditorium, Imperial Valley
music-lovers will hear Miss Hamp-
ton for the first time in her new
capacity as dramatic soprano.
Miss hampton, who has been sing
ing contralto roles in opera and con-
cert for many years, recently sur
prised the musical world, on her
brilliant European tour, with her
success in this new capacity of
dramatic soprano. She follows thus
the tradition of Jean De Reszke,
E1rico Caruso, Lauritz Melchior and
Lii Lehman, few of the great
singers whose voices took on new
high ranges after they had been
singing for some years.
At the time of Miss Bampton's
Metropolitan debut it was uncertain
as to whether she was really con-
tralto or soprano. Moreover, she
had studied both soprano and con-
tralto roles. Because of the uncer-
tainty, howevers she was advised
by her teachers and conductors to
be content with the contralto's lot
