context_page_description: Úrsula López, stage name Úrsula Falcón Quintero, was a Spanish zarzuela and variety singer and businesswoman. In addition to performing, she was known for her glamorous public image, often flaunting expensive clothes, jewelry, and an automobile.
context_section_description: Upon their return from Mexico, Luis Bellido and Serafín Pozueta set up a company to rent the Teatro Lírico, beginning the season on 1 March 1910 with the Úrsula López Zarzuelas Company, and presenting the plays Cinematógrafo nacional, Los mosqueteros, La taza de té, and La manzana de oro, to great success with the public and critics.
  After a string of successful premieres, at the end of 1911, they left the Teatro Lírico. The Úrsula López Zarzuelas Company was hired by the playwright and businessman José López Silva and traveled to Argentina. Their performance at the Avenida Theatre in Buenos Aires in 1912 was a hit, after which they traveled to Montevideo. In addition to Úrsula López, the company included well-known soprano Amparo Taberner and stage director Casimiro Ortas.
  The 15 July 1912 issue of the biweekly Buenos Aires publication La revista teatral y social devotes an extensive article to López, and its 15 August issue features her photograph on its cover.
  Back on the peninsula in 1913, Luis Gabaldón published an interview with López in Blanco y Negro, in which she talks about her future projects. Nuevo Mundo magazine included a photograph of her in February. In August 1913, she began a tour of Spain, performing at the Aza Vital Theater in Málaga with La Generala, book by Perrín and Palacios and music by Amadeu Vives. On 21 December 1913, the company debuted in Seville, at the Teatro Cervantes, and the following day they premiered La boda de la farruca, with a book by Gonzalo Cantó and Guillermo Hernández Mir and music by Francisco Alonso. They then went to Barcelona, acting at the Teatro Cómico, and continuing with a successful tour of the Spanish provinces.
  On 14 March 1914, the Úrsula López Company embarked on the steamship Infanta Isabel, heading to Buenos Aires. But this American tour was unsuccessful, causing López and Luis Bellido great economic losses, so they returned to Spain.
