But the New York Sun jumped the gun a year and said that Mr. Rockefeller...
...purchasers, the Graphic rooted out no satisfactory portrait of the Carmen who never played with love. So, not in the least disconcerted, its editors found a picture of another opera star, famed Maria Jeritza, showing her face in an expression of unbridled invitation. The editors published this photograph with the story about Margerita Sylva; there was no caption printed under it; it was not stated that it represented Margerita Sylva.
