Amelia Calli.Curci

Never since a New York audience
went wild with enthusiasm, unharness
ed the horse, dragged Jenny Lind'scar
rage triumphantly thru the streets
\ has there been so much enthusiasm
over the debut of a singer, as there
has been over the first appearance ir
Chicago of Amelita Galli-Curci, who
will be heard at the Minot High schoo
Auditorium on Monday, May 81.
It occurred on the Eighteenth day
of November, Nineteen Sixteen when
the singer who has been hailed as
THE greatest Coloratura Sopr0na OF
the generation" appeared in the role
of Gilda in Verdi's Rigoletto, with the
/. Chicago Opera Company.
when she finished singing Caro-
Nome" Ito quote from one of the
Chicago dailies," the gallery and bal
comics roared thunderously. Those on
the main floor and those in the boxes,
cast conventional decorum aside, cheer
ed and waved handkerchiefs and pro-
grams. The uproar lasted for more
than fifteen minutes. Nine. CALI
Curci had come, had sung, and had
conquered Chicago"
Amelia Galli-Curci is an Italian
by birth, cosmopolite by artistic
inclination, an accomplished pianist,
talented composer and linguist of
rare attachments. She was born in
Milan of Spanish Italian parents, and
is a graduate of the Musical Con-
servatory of her native city, where
she won honors as pianist and COM
poser. 1t was while playing at con-
cert there that Mascagni suggested
to her that she might add singing
to her other accomplishments. This
she did, teaching herself and was
brilliant debut at the Costanzi Thea
ire at Cairo, and followed appear
ances at the principal Opera houses
in Milan, Naples, Petrograd, Madrid
and Buenos Ayres.
Nine. Galli-Curci is one of the most
delightful women Of the lyric stage.
A lady of rare talents and high ideals.
Commands to sing at the Royal Pal
ace, Madrid, have been frequent and
numerous autograph letters, in addi-
ton to rare collection of jewelled
necklaces, bracelets and decorations,
are visible tokens of the esteem in
which she is held by the Royal fam
lily of Spain.
Mime. Galli-Curci sings in six Ian
guages, viz: Italian, Spanish, French,
German, English and Russian, and is
one Of the few exceptions among the
operate stars who is quite as much
at home on the concert as on the op-
cratic stage.

graphical pathway Of tribes pushing
westward from Asia and southward
from the bleak Russian steppes toward
the warmer seacoast lands. Moreover,
Bessarabia Is at the conveyance Of
these two hlstory-beaten paths, and
many times clash ensued to decide
which group should pass through the
meek Of the bottle" toward Europe's
lands Of milk and honey.
Among the most narrowing Of the In
vasions was that Of the Mongols in
the fourteenth century. They cane
across the volga under Batu, grandson
of that Mongol Charlemagne. JenghiI
Kahn, and though there Is no completn
story Of their depredations In Bes.
sarabia. that region probably suffered
atrocities similar to others which are
recorded In narrowing detail. At
Ryazan women and children were used
as targets In bow-and-arrow contests; /;
slivers Of wood were driven under the
nails Of the men; then they were cor
rallied In churches to watch their wom-
en- being tortured, and finally roasted
alive. Another city. Kozelsk. was re-
named Mobalig. "City of Vice." and
Kiev was laid waste after her people
had been malmed and murdered.
A picture Of peaceful. pastoral Bes-
sarabia prior to the renewed ravages
Of the World war, furnishes pleasing
contrast. A delight to the few tour,
lists who went through the region, were
the Moldavian homes.
A Moldavian interior was immaculate
and vivid. Brightly-colored curtains
and hanglngs were used. An inevitable
decoration were rows Of yellow
gourds, the raising Of which is one Of
the minor Bessarablan industries. The
people are deeply religious. Each ortho-
odox home had Its altar, facing east
ward. sacred bread beneath the Icon.
and cornstalks placed In the shade Of
a cross before 1t. Even the affairs
were colorful because of their draper
les and candles, and many times they
were laden with flowers. The Bes-
sarabian women are sprightly, bright
eyed. and pretty.
Moldavians constituted about half
the inhabitants of Bessarabia. Rou-
mania, 1t will be recalled. was formed
by the union of Moldavia and Wal
lachia; hence the adjoining Bes-
sarabia, with Its large Moldavlan pop
tlation. long has been the "Irredenta'
Of Roumania.

Aphrodite is supposed to have been
