A Candid Coda:

Reflections on the Life and Music of Winnifred Sim.

By: Winnifred Sim

Winnifred Sim never auditioned for a job. And yet, she became a nationally recognized organist, accompanist, adjudicator, teacher, conductor and the musical director of CBC Television’s hit show, “Hymn Sing,” which was broadcast weekly for 30 years. She persevered through the challenges of being successful in fields dominated by men, at a time when being a working mother of four was not a popular choice. Now approaching the age of 84, Winnifred is able to look back on the joys and struggles of the industry and the enrichment that comes from family, faith and a love of music. A Candid Coda not only glimpses Winnifred’s personal life, but also behind the scenes of one of the longest running shows in Canadian television history.

Miss Nume of Japan (Illustrated Edition)

By: Winnifred Eaton (Onoto Watanna)

Eaton (1875-1954) was a Canadian author of Chinese-British ancestry who published under the Japanese-sounding pseudonym Onoto Watanna. Her English merchant father met her Chinese mother, the adopted daughter of English missionaries, on a business trip to Shanghai. In the 1870s the family settled in Montreal where Winnifred was born, and despite the financial difficulties of supporting 14 children, they were raised in an intellectually stimulating environment which enabled Winnifred's older sister Edith Maude to become a journalist and author of stories about impoverished Chinese immigrants written under the pen-name Sui Sin Far. Winnifred's first story was published in a Montreal paper when she was 14 and she soon had articles accepted by several popular magazines in the US. In her late teens she moved to Chicago, working as a typist whilst continuing to write, and soon had her work published in the Saturday Evening Post and other periodicals. She then turned to novel writing, capitalizing on her mixed ancestry to pass herself off as a Japanese American, and relocated to New York. She produced a number of bestsellers and later wrote screenplays for the burgeoning film industry. Published in 1899 and subtitled A Japanese-American Romance, this novel includes a short introduction by Opie Read (1852-1939), the American journalist and humorist. Illustrated with photographs depicting scenes from the book and a facsimile of the original cover.
