...suffered in the War, saw Claire Ambler and heard her sing once, beautifully and out of a rare simplicity. Claire, not very inexplicably, fell in love with this quiet sardonic man who gently criticized the coquetries she was distributing between a young Fascist and a pair of shady young Neapolitan noblemen. Suddenly understanding that death would be more terrible for Charles Orbison had he her love as well as life to lose, Claire accomplished the brave as well as the theatrically perfect conclusion. Exaggerating her accustomed appearance of chattering artificiality, she blew him a kiss and left Raona...
...Majesty Il Re Vittorio Emanuele is a Neapolitan, but not typical. True citizens of Naples are swart, merry fellows, quick to laugh, quicker to bluster, and apt to be stirring and shouting at all hours of the day or night. His Majesty, on the contrary, is cold, a martinet; but all the same he was born at Naples in 1869.

Claudia Muzio was the Ethiopian slave girl, Cyrena Van Gordon Pharoah's daughter and Arnoldo Lindi the suave-throated warrior loved by them both. Jewels of the Madonna came next with Rosa Raisa, as the Neapolitan slut, lavishing sumptuous tones on tunes as tawdry as the stage jewels that tempted her. Came Boheme with Edith Mason and then-Resurrection with Mary Garden. It mattered little to Chicagoans that her voice was some times cloudy, sometimes thin, that tones were tossed this way and that, sometimes...
...going home. And the conductor, there was another thing: Conductor Sergio Failonig, prize pupil of Toscanini, who attempts to emulate his master by doing without the scores. He got the sack for appearing "not to have gained the confidence of the artists." They sent for Conductor Leopold Mugnone, the Neapolitan, a great favorite in London. Jeritza went off to the country to rest before Fedora. And going, she learned that their Britannic Majesties would be graciously pleased to attend her next Tosca...
