artistic world. Marie Seebach was born at Riga,
Russia, on the 24th day OF February, 1887. Her
parents, both Germans, were opera singers, her
mother being the intimate and cherished friend OF
Henrietta SOntag. Marie lost her mother when she
was but six years or age and was left with her in
lant sister, Wihelmina To the care Of strangers
from stage to stage TO earn their living. The

but soon abandoned II for the dramatic stage. Her
early triumphs were as juvenile soubrette, q line
which was quickly abandoned by her for graver ana
higher parts. She appeared In Hamburg Mar

acting spread over Germany, and secured for her
