He took such a keen interest in music that at the age of 19 he went to Chicago to begin studying in earnest. He sang in several Chicago churches with some success, and four years later Mme. Melba advised him to go abroad for serious study. The young man took her advice, went to Paris and placed himself under Giraudet for dramatic action, and Sbriglia for French dramatic réles. He proved an earnest student and hard worker, and had soon mastered more than thirty bass réles. His début was made at Brussels in 1900 as Friar Laurence in ‘‘Romeo.” He returned to Paris for a season at the Opéra Comique, and was then secured by Mr. Savage for the English opera season at the Metropolitan in 1901. Returning to Europe in the spring of that year he began on the advice of Mme. Wagner, to study German opera, and in 1902 appeared in the “Ring” at Liibeck, and as Wolfram at Bayreuth in 1904. The baritone has chosen a wide variety of selections for his Victor records, including several old-time ballads, which he sings with unusual sympathy and understanding. Mr. Whitehill, in his records for the Victor, furnishes added proof that American voices, properly trained, are fully equal to those of any other nation. In point of fact, he is a living example of the principle that an American artist, with his flexible and unprejudiced mind, his high idealism, and his faithfulness to the necessary long labor of preparation for the life of the singer, may take and may hold the highest artistic rank. Sympathetic insight and a fine sense for aramatic values are characteristics which will be found in the records by Mr. Whitehill which are listed below.
