Burlington Rigg, Noted Baritone, to Reside in Winnetka It will be of interest in the musical circles of the north shore to know that J. Burlington Rigg, the well known baritone, has moved into his new home at 199 Sheridan road, Winnetka. The son of a distinguished musician and poet, J. B. Rigg was early in life destined for a musical career and stu- died vocal art under eminent teachers in Europe. His early years were devoted to church and oratorio work in his native city of Glasgow, Scotland. He later was heard in London in concert and appeared at Queen hall and other leading halls under the aus- pices of the National Sunday league. Soon thereafter he toured the princi- pal cities of Great Britain and Ireland, appearing with Symphony orchestras at Margate, Bournemouth, Harrogate, and many times before Royalty. His next venture was in opera, and he became principal baritone and played in thirty-five operas, including "The Merry Widow," "The Dollar Princess," "The Geisha," "Amasis," "The Greek Slave," "The Runaway Girl," "Miss Hook of Holland," and others. His tours have taken him to Egypt, Malta, Gibraltar, India, Ceylon, Burmah, Malay states, China, Japan, and he came to the United States to play and sing the leading baritone role in "The Quaker Girl," after a tour of Canada from coast to coast. He returned to Canada during the World war and enlisted as a private soldier with the Canadian forces, with whom he served with distinction in Belgium and Flanders, returning with the rank of captain. He re-entered the U. S. A. and im- mediately took out his citizenship pa- pers and since 1919 he and Mrs. Rigg (Miss Birdyce Mills, A. A. G. O, a well known organist) have been asso- ciated with the musical life of Chi- cago and vicinity. For the last seven years he was soloist at Unity church, Oak Park, and Mrs. Rigg was organist and director for seventeen years. Captain Rigg is composor and au- thor of many songs both sacred and secular, and he has had the unique ex- perience of recording his own songs on the Vocalion records. Capt. and Mrs. Rigg are looking forward with pleasure to the pipe or- gan they will soon be installing in their new Winnetka home.
