Mural Rain Sets
World Record

NEW YORK-It's news when
someone breaks" a world record.
but what happens when one "sets"
a world record Concert singer,
Muriel Rain would really be
qualified to answer, but her reply
would probably be Nothing" In
fact, Miss Rain didn't even know
she had set a world record until
she was told about it, two weeks
ago.
1t took her manager, Dick Camp
bell that long to dig up facts and
statistics to substantiate the
claim. Campbell mailed out 1000
missionaries to music critics,
singers, concert managers, teach
ers, music schools, opera houses,
concert halls an universities, and
asked them ONE question:
'Do you know of any concert
singer in the world besides Muriel
Rain who has appeared in the role
fsoloist at New York Town Hall,
the Metropolitan Opera House and
Carnegie Hall in New York on
THREE SUCCESSIVE DAYS?"
Music critics from the daily
press scampered through back IS
sues of music pages, files and date
books of concert managers as far
back as the beginning of the TWEEN
tieth century. but no one came up
with proof of a similar record.
Here in the Muriel Rain record:
Sunday, May 2, 1913: solo recital
at NEW YORK TOWN HALL for
benefit of Harlem Christian Youth
Council; Monday, May 3, solo ap-
pearance at METROPOLITAN
OPERA HOUSE for benefit Of
United Nations Appeal for aid to
overseas children TUESDAY, May 4,
solo appearance at CARNEGIE
HALL for famous Carnegie "pop"
Concerts Goth consecutive time.)
In order to motivate further
research, Miss Rahn's manager,
Dick Campbell, is offering a re-
ward to anyone who can prove
that any other singer has appear
ed in the role of solOist at New
York's three topcaHF;no' Mr--'
Halls on THREE successive days.
Claimants may contact or write
