Lillian Garfield
Toronto Daily Star, April 20 1927
Miss Lillian Garfield may have won wide recognition in 1927, but whatever fame she had did not survive the years. A search for her turned up nothing. She appears to be lost to history.
I did find a reference to Signor Ferrari-Fontana, though: Edoardo Ferrari-Fontana (1878-1936) was an Italian tenor whose career included singing at the Metropolitan Opera in 1914. He moved to Toronto in 1926. He must have thought, at times, that it was a long way, career-wise, from the Met to the Robert Simpson Company, Limited.
