J. Coates Lockhart and his Scotch Lassies
Concert Artists and Entertainers in a Program
of Classic, Humorous and Scottish Numbers
Mr. Lockhart has a most enviable reputation as a concert artist in the United States and Canada. As a soloist of the Kilties Band, he did a lot to establish the reputation of that organization through his splendid vocal work and personality.
He has recently returned after an absence of same years abroad, where he has been singing with some well known Opera and Concert Companies, has just finished an extensive tour through Canada and the States from coast to coast for the third time. Mr. Lockhart had the honor of singing twice for His Late Majesty King Edward VII. and Queen Alexandra at Balmoral Castle and Sandringham House; also the present King and Queen when Prince and Princess of Wales, Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, the King of Greece and Captain and Lady Scott and many other eminent people.
Among a few of the important engagements Mr. Lockhart has had, mention may be made of Mr. Henry W. Savage's Grand Opera Co., the Grau Savage Co., at the Metropolitan, New York, and the Hogarth Opera Co., London, England. He also sang with Madame Alicia Adelaide Needham's Concert Party (the well known Irish composer), in her Irish and Scottish Song Cycles, the Burns Mixed Quartette of London, England, and the Toronto Glee Club, and many prominent Oratorio Societies in Great Britain; also Soloist with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Pittsburgh Festival Orchestra.
Mr. Lockhart studied for some years with that well known master, Win. Shakespeare, and later with Mr. Edouard De Reszke, the eminent Opera Basso. Having been associated with many of the best artists in both Opera arid Concert, he has had the advantage of receiving many valuable hints from them in the art of production and interpretation.
With Mr. Lockhart will appear three clever assistants who will assist in the programs with a great variety of pleasing numbers of real artistic merit. Songs, Vocal Trios and Duets, Violin Solos and Duets, Readings, Stories etc., will be combined with the art of the entertainer to produce an unusually rich and novel entertainment.
Mr. Lockhart features many of the old Scotch Classics, also some lively Scotch songs with a true Scotch swing, and is a splendid interpreter of the Harry Louder songs. The entire company do at least a part of their work in costume.
Too much cannot be said of those whom Mr. Lockhart has selected for his assistants. The very high order of work which he does himself is a guarantee that he would be content with only those who can stand the real test of the critical audience.
Miss Lucille Mylchreest, Soprano and Pianist, Miss Margarethe Morris, Violinist and Solo Pianist, Miss Ilene Reeds, Saxophonist and Pianist, are exceptionally brilliant players, and have had considerable experience in concert work. They have received very high commendations on their tours by those whose criticism is valued.
Miss Mylchreest, Soprano Soloist and Pianist, has a bright, sweet voice, full of richness and timbre well suited to concert and church work. She is a musician of ability and a splendid accompanist.
Miss Reeds, Saxophonist and Pianist, plays with a charm and grace which is most pleasing as well as being a good pianist and a very attractive personality.
Miss Morris is an excellent violinist and solo pianist, having won several medals for playing on both instruments. She has a lyric soprano voice and added to her gifts as an artist is a pleasing personality which makes her always a favorite.
The company has made a great record and always strikes 100.
Pasadena Star, California,Mr. Lockhart was a soloist to whom the audience would have listened half the evening giving first some splendid songs. He responded to the applause with one song after another and each one better than the last. His songs by Sir Harry Louder were mast entertaining, not as an imitation of Sir Harry, but given in a way all his own. Mr. Lockhart is one of the few men who can sing a Lauder song without rousing murderous desires in the minds of Lauder admirers.
