Raynolds sang professionally in Italy[9] before making her American debut in Los Angeles in 1915, in Aida and I Lombardi alla prima crociata, with the Los Angeles National Grand Opera Company.[4] Her voice "rang with a brilliance and opulence of tone that completely filled the auditorium", according to the Musical Courier account of her debut.[10] Also in 1915, she toured with a quartet in the American Southwest,[11][12] gave a recital at the Panama–California Exposition in San Diego, and drove from Texas to New York with her mother, sister, and cousin.[13]

Raynolds sang with the Chicago Grand Opera Company in the 1916–1917 season, and was an assisting artist at the Chicago Musical College.[14] She toured the United States in the leading role of Tosca with the Boston National Grand Opera Company in 1917.[15] In 1918 she was a soloist with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra,[16] and returned to Europe with the YMCA, to entertain American troops in World War I.[1] Ella Holloway Lewis was her manager in the 1910s.[17]

Personal life

Raynolds had a home in Florida in 1919.[18] She married bookseller and World War I veteran Marston Elliott Drake in 1923.[7] They lived in Plandome, New York,[6] and had a son, Raynolds Drake, and a daughter, Sarame R. (Sally) Drake. Raynolds died in 1961, at the age of 75. There is a collection of her papers at the New England Conservatory of Music.[8]
