" 7 } August 6, 1927 WINNETKA TALK Howard Preston Wins New Achievements in Operatic Circles Howard Preston, of 1031 Greenwood avenue, Wilmette, began last Sunday a three weeks engagement with the Zoo Opera company of Cincinnati as their guest artist. On Sunday, Wed- nesday, and Friday evenings of this week he sang in the role of "Wotan" in Wagner's "Die Walkure," a role which is said to be the greatest role ever written for a baritone. The Zoo Opera company of Cincinnati is simi- lar to Ravinia, and is an open air opera house in the zoological gardens. Other stars who have been singing with Mr. Preston are Marta Witt- kowska, Vera Curtis, Herbert Gould, and Forrest Lamont. According to Cincinnati critics, Mr. Preston sang the heroic role of "Wotan" very successfully. One says, "To Howard Preston, who returns to the company after triumphs in vari- ous parts of the United States, goes the heroic role of Wotan, with its participation in the Magic Fire scene." Another says, "Howard Preston re- turned to Cincinnati to sing the great role of Wotan. His is a splendid voice for that score, wide in its range, rich and full throughout, and flexible. He sang beautifully." Still another writes, "To Howard Preston, guest artist, was entrusted the part of Wotan, the God of Walhalla and the father of the Valkyries. With his sonorous bass voice and commanding presence, Preston combines excellent dramatic ability. To Wotan is al- lotted the lovely 'Magic Fire' music with which 'Die Walkure' ends." Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Hammond of 1217 Asbury avenue leave this week- end to join their children, who have been spending a couple of weeks near Muskegon, Mich. Mr. and Mrs. Ham- mond returned Monday from northern Wisconsin, where they had passed ten days. They were accompanied by Mrs. Hammond's sister and brother-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. Richard B. Cross of New York. --0-- Victor M. Harding, Jr., of 789 Burr avenue returned home this week from a motor trip through the West. With Harding Palmer of West Point, he spent three weeks on the tour.
