Individual Recitals and Oratorio


E
THEL WRIGHT and TOM FUSON are husband and wife.  They met while touring the Pacific Coast in the summer of 1916, and were married two years later.  During the great war, Mr. Fuson served in the Field Artillery, and his wife divided her time between concert engagements, singing in the camps and Red Cross work.  For the past seven years the two singers have lived their careers in exact parallel and have demonstrated rather conclusively that artists CAN live in domestic and artistic harmony.  While Mr. and Mrs. Fuson are happiest when working together, they fill many engagements separately.  They are known as individual recitalists and oratorio artists of distinct ability.
