AN ITALIAN SINGER
And Her Last Soma

There are popular songs from operas
endeared to the hearts of the American
people associated with famous singers.
The name of Norma" will always be
associated with Giulia Grisi, the Italian
prima donna, born in 1910. When only
16 she appeared in opera at Bologna
and won the hearts of the audience by
her sweetness and wonderful compass
of voice. 1t was her heartfelt rendition
of Norma that has left its impress
on musical history. She sang in the
United States during the years pre-
ceding the civil war, and even divided
honors with Jenny Lind as the most
popular singer of her time. She died In
1862 and it is said the last song she
sang was the famous selection from
Norma" upon which her reputation
was made.
Several of Crisis favorites are
included In Heart Songs"-the musical
