WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1922 WOULD ADD MUCH TO WASHINGTON SOCIETY Mrs. Henry Riggs Rathbone Is a Great Artist Tuesday's Primary election makes it practically certain that Henry Riggs Rathbone of Kenilworth will, in the not distant future, grace a seat in the National Congress. When a man becomes a Congress- man he naturally is a resident of Washington, D. C. during the greater part of each year and it follows that Washington becomes the home of his family. Thus it is ,that Washington society is perhaps vastly more interesting than that of any other locality since the comings and goings superinduced by elections, changes of personnel in Congress and administrations, period- ically brings new life into the com- munity. Also, speculation is rife in the National capital, for the wives of our national leaders, usually the so-| ciety leaders in their home communi- ties, come to add their brilliancy to the collection of scintilant folk at the seat of government. Mrs. Henry Riggs Rathbone, com- poser, singer and artist, would be certain to be a noteworthy addition to the social life at Washington. Versatile Woman Mrs. Rathbone is one of the most versatile women in noth shore social circles. A pupil of Carpi, Senor Marachalchi, Oscar Sanger and Peccia, she is considered one of the leading dramatic high soprano singers in the United States who has appeared in concert in practically all of the great | musical centers of the country. Her war work is Mrs. Rathbone's most treasured claim to distinction. For her work in training camps dur- ing the World War when she appeared in concert 487 times, always at her own expense, she was accorded the great honor of a place in the Who's Who edition of the Woman's Nation- al Magazine, a publication devoted to women's work in the late war. Mrs. Rathbone was registered as a 'red letter" woman in that memorial edi- tion and there were few "red letter" women on that registry. An Artist's Triumph One of Mrs. Rathbone's greatest achievements in war work was a con- cert given at Palm Beach before Amer- ica's most prominent and distinguish- ed social leaders through which she netted the Red Cross several thous- ands of dollars. The concert was de- clared the musical and social event of the season at the exclusive water- ing place. Mrs. Rathbone became known among the men in army cantonments as "The Nightingale of the Camps." She was constantly in demand and received literally columns of praise from the press in whatever vicinity she ap- peared. Mrs. Rathbone is a composer of note, Her compositions are sung frequently by such artists as Schuman-Heink, Madame Young, Senora Arcangelie, George Hamlin and others.
