Margaret Speaks From Noted
Musical Family
Margaret Speaks, the golden-
voiced soprano, is at least the third
generation of a musical family.
Old Grandfather Speaks who
came up from Virginia to settle
in Canal Winchester, Ohio, had a
piano in his home, one of the few
in the town. His house was the
musical center of the town and
that community still reverberates
v-ith tales of the “musical
Speaks. ’ ’
At first his neighbors were as-
jtonished to see such a feminine
thing as a piano, for Grandfather

On the rare occasions that Mar-
garet Speaks has sung a false note
she has had a swarm of aunts, un-
cles, brothers and epusin critics
to tell her about it.
From early childhood Margaret
has been singing. And since she
was old enough to sit up at the
piano her mother has kept her
practicing and studying music.
Her mother can be given a great
share of the credit for the devel-
opment of Margaret Speaks’ thor-
ough musicianship.
