LIGHT OPERA STAR
OF OLD LIVES HERE
JEANNE Winston's Name Recalls
"Fra DiayoIo," "Boccaccio,"
and ia PerichoIe."

How many Washington people re-
member with much gratitude and
pleasure the opera days when JEANNE
Winston brought to us whole sea-
sons of Fra Diavolo," La Perichole, &"
The Grand Duchess" "Boccaccio,"
THE Queens Lace Handkerchief"
and a multitude of other delightful
light operas whose place has been
rather unprontably filled today with
musical comedy7
With Miss Winston in our midst,
living quietly with friends, 1t took
an out-of-town inquiry to recall
these happy days.
A note to the Question Box Editor
OF Musical America brought forth this
Information that is OF interest to us
for much of the musical background
of "other days" in Washington.
Musical America replies:
JEANNE Winston, whose real name
was Janet Bruce, was born In Scot
land and sent as q child to an aunt
in New Zealand. She grew up there
and studied singing in Auckland and
later in Melbourne where she subse-
auently went on the stage. She mar
ried in Melbourne Arthur Bell, an
Englishmsn and an Oxford graduate.
The couple came to America in 1875
and toured the West in light opera.
Miss Winston had an offer from
Modjeska's- management to enter the
field of emotional drama, but declined,
a decision which she is said to have
regretted later. She was very popu-
lar in Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington and won most OF her tri-
umphs in mems parts, FRA Diavolo,"
'Boccaclo" and 'Perichoie" being her
most popular successes. She retired
from the stage in the early nineties
and lived in Florence, Italy, but has
made her home in Washington, d. c.,
for a number of years, and is still n
rc sident of that city"
