Listen to him at commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AKeep_the_H... Ads for concerts in various papers suggest that he was in the U.S. from January to April 1916.

Looks like him www.bach-cantatas.com/Pic-Bio-BIG/McCormack-John-6.jpg That looks an awful lot like a Hudson's Bay coat that he is wearing.

on the steps of the state capitol. His father James J Hill built the Great Northern Railroad and he went on to take over. Home schooled until he went to Exeter then Yale, the family home was a large mansion up on Summit Avenue that now gives public tours en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_W._Hill

Pixel Wrangler they must have sent a cub reporter :) I don't think anyone here would have any idea what an outdoor sports carnival parade would be. Perhaps it was a topical parade at this carnival.
