She has also ap- | ROSE BRYANT peared in concert in the larger citles of the country and has been accorded warm praise by newspaper reviewers. Ot her singing at a recent appear- ance, the New York Evening Post sald: “Miss Bryant, the contralto, wag able to display to advantage her fine voice and her unusual interpre- tive powers.” The New York Even- ing Mail sald: “Miss Rose Bryant sang several contralto songs, show- ing feeling and a beautiful voice.” The New York Times said: “Miss Bryant sang the contralto airs ad- mirably and was especially success- ful in the long and difficult phrases. The duet for tenor and contralto whose tender melancholy affords a marked contrast with the prevailing spirit of the work was sung in way that volced much of its tender beauty."” Miss Bryant has been soloist four times with the New York Oratorio soclety and twice with the Buffalo Guido chorus. She has also ap- peared with the New York Sym- phony orchestra, the Boston Cecilia society, the Buffalo Orpheus soclety and the Brooklyn Oratorlo society.
