Wi VICTOR RED SEAL RECORDS WILLIAMS, EVAN, Tenor The fact that Evan Williams is no longer in the land of the living makes his unforgettable records all the more valuable. Evan Williams was essentially an American product. The son of a family in poor circumstances, he was born in Ohio in 1867, and enjoyed little preliminary education. He was gifted, however, with a voice of singular sweetness, and with an indomitable will. Coming to New York, he soon established himself as one of the foremost concert and oratorio singers of the day. A tour through England, the home of oratorio, added greatly to his reputation, which was still increased upon his return to America. An artist of the very highest attainments, he never lost sight of the human side of his art. He died May 24, 1918, a singer in more ways than one “beloved among his people.” WILLIAMS THE WILLIAMS RECORDS (Sung in English unless noted) *Face to Face (Sacred Song) Herbert Johnson *Holy City Weatherly-Adams * Just a-Wearyin’ for You StantonJacobs-Bond *Perfect Day, A (’Cello obbligato by Bourdon) Jacobs-Bond Z ZIMBALIST, EFREM, Violinist (Zim’-bal-ist, Eff’-rem) This distinguished Russian violinist was born at Rostoff on the Don, Russia, April 9, 1889, and disclosed a musical temperament at an early age. He did not, however, commence to study the violin until seven years old, when he took lessons from his father, a distinguished orchestra director. Later he went to Leopold Auer in Petrograd, and made rapid progress. His début in that city was a phenomenal success, which was repeated in the principal European music centres. A splendid London début definitely established his fame in England, and an equally warm welcome awaited him in the United States. His marriage to Alma Gluck led to the making of beautiful OMI t duet records by these famous Victor artists.
