Emma Calve has attained success I'M
precedented in the annals of lyric art
10 repeat the story of her triumph is
needless. Her superb voice, her fascina-
ting half-oriental dances, her caressing
gestures, her black eyes, irresistible
mirth-these, and the indescrba BILE some
thing more, make up the dazzling per
sonation by which the artist has made
her name famous in every part of the
world.
Her marvellous artist temperament has
made her a great actress, but this brings
its own price, and as great hearts know
great griefs, great temperaments must
know great nervous strain; consequently,
there are periods of nervous prostration
and nnfufilled eng agements when impa-
tient audiences are apt to forget these eX-
tenuating ciroums stances.
Calves absolute reliance on PINES
