ROSA RAISA PRIMA DONNA OF CHI
CAGO GRAND OPERA.

Her real name is Raitza Burstein, but
Cleofonte Campanini, who discovered
her in Italy and decided to take her to
America, told her that the Americans
like "short name," one that was easy
to pronounce. She is the daughter of
Hershel Burstein of Byalestock, Russia
a Jewish contractor who knows the Tai
mud we'll.
Rosa Raisa is considered the great
est dramatic soprano of our times. She
is slender, her eyes are gray and dreamy,
and her hair is black. She is linguist
speaking Russian, Yiddish with a pure
Lithuanian accent, Italian, French, and
German. At the age Of twelve, Cantor
Berman of ByalestOck succeeded in
raising funds to send her to Naples to
study music. There Rosas good angels
were the members of the Ascarelli fam
lily, wealthy Roumanian Jews, who pro-
vided her with an allowance of fifty
francs a month.
Raisa is now rs years old. She COM
mands a real opera stars salary and
daily receives offers for new and more
brilliant contracts. She says nothing
gives her so much pleasure as being in
Jewish company and as receiving a let
ter from her father in Byalestock and
replying. She loves Italy where her
career began. In speaking of Russia
her native land, in recent interview
she says
Russia terrifies me. I went through
the experience of pogrom in Russia.
For three days my sister, who now re-
sides in New York, and L, were hiding
in a cellar out of fear of the pogrom.
I shudder when I think of it, and now
that Russia is free, I try to find love
for the land of my BIRTH
Raisa is a pious Jewess She owns
"Mezuzah" and bible, and also min
nature Scroll of the TOrah, and she car
ries these relics everywhere she travels,
and they always occupy a conspicuous
place wherever she makes her home

Before the end of the war these had been increased to more than 100000. The number has been gradually reduced since November 11th. This has com pletely changed the situation in the civil service, whereas the Govern ment was advertising for help until the first of November, there is prac tically no demand for help now, as people are being dismissed as fast IS other positions can be secured for them All requests to be relieved are welcomed, and thousands of those with the Government are searching for employment elsewhere.
