Living in a poor street in New York
is woman who has seen more ups and
downs than usually fall to the lot of
one individual. She is Amalie Ceruti,
who. as dancer, once commanded the
admiration of kings and emperors. She
was born in Silesia so years ago and at
an early age went on the stage as a
dancer. She was small, with a pretty
face and graceful figure, and before long
she was the rage. going from city to
city in Europe and being everywhere
triumphantly received During her va
rious tours in Europe she was the re-
cipient Of countless gifts Of jewelry,
among them diamonds Of rare value.
In 1871 she came to this country with
Kiralfy and later Joined the rBlack
Crook company, where she met and
married a ballet master. Everything
went well for awhile, but finally mana
gers discovered that Ceruti was not as
young as she had been Engagements
became more and more scarce, and her
last appearance was in German opera
nearly five years ago. Since then they
have lived as best they could Amalie
Ceruti is still erect and alert, as proud
of her past glories almost as she would
be were she able to renew them. Chi
