Elsa Maxwell Writes an Opera
M. Valyerdi, composer of LA Mai
son du Danes," and other successful
operettas given, in Paris, has chosen
Miss Elsa Maxwell, once of Iowa,
then Of New York. and now residing
in the Rue Beissonade, to collaborate
with him on new opera adapted
from the Spanish. It will soon be
heard in this city and Madrid, and
later in the principal cities Of the
United States. Valverdi is very en-
thusiastic over the lyrics Of Miss
Maxwell. as we'll as her dramatic tai
ent and work on the libretto.
Miss Maxwell Is quite a musical
phenomenon. Having absolutely no
technical knowledge of music, she is
able to improvise harmonies on what
ever instrument may be at hand. She
naturally selects the piano as the
best means for the conveyance Of her
themes. About year ago Miss Max
we'll left Iowa for New York with a
letter Of introduction to several pub
fishers. She selected at hazard Leo
Feist, called to see him. and asked
him to hear some of her compost
tons.

The comtesse, in whise veins flows
the most illustrious blood of France
aristocracy showed during the recent
flood a devotion for the sufferers
without parallel.
The minister of the interior has de-
cided to yield to the countess re-
quests and confer on this truly noble
woman the highest honor of the

Legion of Honor. Az soon as this in
tention was made. known to the
countess she hastened to obtain an
interview with the, minister. She
thanked him but absolutely declined
to accept the honor owing to the
fact that in her mind she had shown
no greater sympathy and help for the
sufferers and homeless and poor than
every single member Of the admir-
able Red Cross society Of France.
She, therefore, in her opinion. was
no more entitled to the governmental
distinction than her associates. All
arguments proving futile. the appli-
cation was withdrawn by the minister.
who. on ushering the comtesse to her
carriage, was heard to remark:
There goes great lady. 'ndAAd."
