EDTSON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY FOR JUNE, 1912 11
New Edison Artists
MILDRED GRAHAM REARDOX
Dramatic Soprano
MRS. REARDOX has the distinction of being the longest retained soloist of the largest Methodist Church in the world — Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church of New York City, where she is now singing for the sixth year. Before coming to New York she was soloist in St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo, studying under Andrew T. Webster. Since coming to New York she has studied with Geo. Henschel, Mme. Alaatja von Niessen-Stone and Sig. Aristide Franciscbetti of Rome.
She has been identified with church, oratorio and concert work, appearing with the Schubert Quartet, and participating in many notable performances. The rare quality of her high and brilliant soprano has gained wide recognition among the musically critical, who have acclaimed her voice as being of unusual range and' good in allregisters.
"Seeing the article in the Phonograph Monthly 'An Easy and Effective Way to Demonstrate the Edison,' I thought I would let you know that on April 9th and 11th last at the first annual fair and opening of the new building and lodge rooms of the I. 0. O. F., I furnished music in the club rooms of the same. I used a Combination Standard with oak music master cygnet horn and the words of praise for this outfit were worth hearing. I kept a list of those who appeared most interested,, and I am pretty sure that I have several good prospects. The enclosed clippings will give an idea of the advertising this gave me." — Geo. Hart, Clairmont, N. H.
HARVEY W. HINDERMYER
Tenor
MR. HINDERMYER is a native of Easton, Pa., but the greater part of his studies were pursued in Philadelphia under the direction of W. Warren Shaw. He has sung in musical festivals, oratorios, concerts and song recitals in all the principal cities east of the Mississippi and has also appeared in many light operas' such as "The Mikado," "The Chimes of Normandy," "The Gondoliers" and Johann Strauss' "Die Fledermaus." In 1908 he toured from coast to coast in Panama, giving eight concerts. As soloist of the Cathedral in Philadelphia and of the Calvary Episcopal Church in New York, Mr. Hindermyer has gained a most enviable reputation as an interpreter of sacred music.
Mr. Hindermyer's voice is refreshing in its robustness — a quality which so few sweet tenor voices possess. Fresh, unstrained, combining with its rich calibre the delicate nuances of the mezzo voce, it is indeed a most pleasing instrument. Mr. Hindermyer is a thorough musician, has excellent interpretive powers, that tenderness and delicacy of feeling so necessary to interpretive perfection and a tastefulness and suavity of delivery that are noteworthy.
Reginald de Koven's great light opera success "Robin Hood" is having a brilliant run at the New Amsterdam Theatre, New York. Why not mention the fact to your patrons and play over Amberol No. 175: Selections from "Robin Hood"? It contains the best pieces in the play — the ones that are making the "hits" to-dav.
