Stanley Deacon Baritone
ONE of the dominant reasons for the ever increasing popularity of this already noted singer is best told by the Kansas City Times:—Mr. Deacon's stages presence is a refreshing and blithesome thing; his audiences fall in love first and listen later.

Coupled with this essential characteristic of personality are an intelligent musicianship and a voice of ample range and rich smoothness.

Born and educated in Chicago, Mr. Deacon began singing at the early age of nine years as alto soloist in St. Peter's Episcopal Church, one of the largest in Chicago.

For three seasons he sang as leading baritone with the Boston Opera and for one season with the Century Opera.  For three seasons he was Guest Artist with the Kansas City Opera Co.  His operatic repertory includes about thirty operas.

In addition he has sung extensively in recital and oratorio, his singing of the Elijah being especially noteworthy.

Equally at home in all three—opera, oratorio and recital—Mr. Deacon's exceptional equipment places him well to the fore of those American artists who are making contemporary musical history; an artist worthy of your consideration.

He maintains at all times that high standard of excellence that has characterized all his appearances here.


Boston Herald: 
One of the big welcomes of the night was that accorded to Stanley Deacon.  It must have pleased him greatly to hear the rousing applause he received.


Boston Post: 
Mr. Deacon surprised even his many friends by his histrionic ability and his eye to characterization.  Vocally and otherwise his Tonio was worthy of a Metropolitan performance.



Boston Traveller: 
He made of the hunchback wearer of motley a compelling and tragic figure.


Montreal Star: 
Mr. Deacon sang in fine style the role of Plunkett, his dramatic appreciation suiting the part to a nicety.


Quebec (Canada) Soleil: 
Nous accordons sans hesitations les plus grands honneurs a la magnifique bariton de M. Stanley Deacon.

Mr. Deacon stopped the show so great was the enthusiasm he aroused.


Kansas City Times: 
Mr. Deacon is a master of the song that tells a story.  Without sacrificing musical effect he related the hair raising history of Giles Scroggins in a manner that suggested Dr. Wullner and others of a closed generation.


Kansas City Star: 
One of the moments for which singing actors live came to Mr. Deacon in the tavern scene.  The audience and Mr. Deacon made a contact that exploded at last into applause that continued until Conductor DeRubertis finally gave in and granted an encore.
