Arthur Middleton is called the . “Made in America Baritone" because he has received all of his musical , training and done all of his singing in the United States with the excep- of an Australian tour: He Js one of the most CC pap we con- cert and oratoric singers t this: country has produced. Both in con- cert and opera he has won his spurs and is a shining example) to young Amrica artists who want to know if success 1s possible with: out the European label. Questioned as to how he got start- ed on his career, the genial baritone replied that at the age of 14 he had quite a reputation as a singer in his. home town, Logan, Iowa. He was always asked to take part in the various church and schoo! en- tertainments and finally before he had quite. finished high school, the director of the conservatory at Simp- fon college, Indiancle, Iowa, came to the Middleton home and offered ung Arthur free. tuition if he uld come: to their college. “‘Nat- urally I was overjoyed at the oppor- tunity and spent six happy years there. Shortly after my. entrance, €ays Mr. Middleton, “I was made fader of the College Glee club and dater became soloist of the church choir besides assisting the head of the .v department in teaching. I consider my musical experience and training at college invaluable, for I had a thorough grounding in the fundamentals at that time which has “When I finally got through my atudent period, I went to Chicago and immediately captured a gcod church position and began singing in various oratorio performances and concerts. After a while I was engaged by the Oak Park Presby- terian church to fill the highest paid church position in Chicago. With this church position, afford- ing him a steady income, Mr. Mid- delton began singing in concerts in various parts of the country and finally was heard by Mme Alda, wife of Gatt!-Casazza, the director of the Metropolitan Opera company, while he was singing in a concert in Utica, N. Y. _ A Metropolitan Opera engagement followed this. In his first season with the company, Mr. Middleton sang the unusually large number of thirty-five times Asked about whether he preferred opera, or concert, Mr. Middleton an- swered very positively. “I much pre- fer to sing in concert. There is a far more intimate touch with one’s audience and an easy, natural at- mosphere much more congenial to my temperament than the artificial. ities of the operatic stage. Then too I think the appeal of grand opera is lmited, both because of its exces- sive*ccst and because it is too fre- quently sung in a language which the majority of peopie do not un- derstand. I always endeavor to maka (my concert programs contain as Many songs in Epglish as possible, es I think half the value is lost if the text is not understood." Arthur.
