OPERA SINGER CREATES SENSATION IN DARK MAKEUP Claudia Muzio, a youthful Italian prima donna, created a sensation at the Metropolitan Opera House Satur day evening in “Aida,” Verdi,’s classic, by darkening her skin to accomplish the complete impersonation of the F.thopian princess-slave. ^ The New York Morning telegraph published Miss Muzio’s picture in her dLsky makeup, making the following comment: "Claudia Muzio, the youthful Italian prima donna of the Metropolitan Op era Company, made her American de but last night in the name part of Verdi’s Aida, singing with exalted in spiration, acting the tragic role with all of the magnificient mimic art which she first disclosed in Tosca, and looking the part of the Ethiopian princess slave to a degree that no other great prima donna has dared to look it. "Musically and dramatically, it was a sensational and yet perfectly legiti mate performance of the part, more legitimate, indeed, than most of its j accepted predecessors, and this for the reason that Miss Muzio yielded all of the vanities of personal pulchritude to the big idea of looking the part. Its acting requirements are well with in her splendid endowments as an emotional actress, and her warm, ten der, and—at times—incredibly power ful soprano voice are more than suf ficient for the arias accredited to Aida.” MOTHER MEMORIES I was looking in the attic for the chil dren’s winter clothes, For their overcoats and mittens, and their little woolen hose, When, moved by tender mem’ries of one for years at rest, I lifted up the cover of an old black chest. It was there I kept mementos of the time of long ago, W’hen I, a child, was shielded from wintery wind and snow; And, taking out the treasure I prized above them all, I laid my head a moment on a brown plaid shawl. Then I understood the recompense that’s coming from above, If I shall so surround my own with all a mother’s love, That just to look at what I’ve wom will quickly dim the eye When years have rolled between ua since the last good-bye. —Purity Magazine.
