This woman is Lillian Russell, who has been proclaimed uni versally as one of the worlds lovellest women and whose vocal success has made musical history in Europe ana America.
 As a rule the public knows little of the origin of it's stagc favorltes. The real names of the greatest stars are often sources of discussion and their birthplaces matters of conjecture.

 On one occasion a lawyer challenged the right of the judge to empanel a woman jury: and when Judge Howe oyerruled the objection the lawyer who had made it said:
