T
HE announcement that LORAN DOONE JACKSON has entered the concert field will be greeted with pleasure and satisfaction by her many friends and admirers throughout the country.




One prominent critic, in reviewing her work, says:  
If you would hear once more a full-throated contralto with a luscious voice supported by rich pictorial values, you will find in Lorna Doone Jackson the artiste you have been awaiting.
  She brings to her work beauty and charm.  A magnetic personality and a dramatic ability that is all too rare.




She has had the advantage of study with the great Calve, at her home in the south of France, where she spent the entire summer of 1922.




Enchanting beauty, radiant personality, correctness of art, an exquisite voice of rare quality are the plus essentials which have won noted recognition for her.  The St. Louis Municipal Opera (10 weeks) in 1922; concerts with Mme.  Calve in Europe, 1923; re-engagements with the St. Louis Civic Opera; also soloist with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in 1924; guest artiste with the San Carlo Opera 1925-26, following with leading roles with Chicago Civic Opera, are among her successes.

First of all, judged from every standpoint, must come the name of Lorna Doone Jackson—her stage business alone, the sheer wit of her eye, technic, the completeness of naturalness of her characterization, and last, but not least her singing … these are many and good reasons for giving her 
star
 place in my review.—
