artists of established fame and whose
careers extended over several seasons.
Added to this was the fact that she wns
of slight physique and apparently tem
peramentally unqualified to characterize
effectively the standard roles of the oper
atic repertoire.
She sang Santuzza, however, at Covent
Garden, and was widely acclaimed. But
her real triumph was reserved for her
delineation of the roleof Madama Butter
fly. She sane the part one night to a
crowded house, and, like Lord Byron,
awoke the next morning to find herself
famous. Hers was a positive, an em
phatic and a decided triumph.
At the height of her success, Mr. Max
Rablnoft. the director of the Boston
Grand Opera Company, engaged her for
this country' The little lady was exceed
ingly nervous concerning her debut, as
she had been told that Americans did
not like the Japanese and she feared
that she would be hissed. Any trepida
tions that might have possessed her soul
were dispelled at the tall of the curtain
on the first act on a memorable night in
Chicago.
Hiss Miura is looking forward to her
visit to Philadelphia with Intense satis
faction, as she is anxious to meet John
Luther Long. The meeting between the
Chrysanthemum cantatrice and the au
thor will evidently be a most interesting
one, for they have many things in com
mon. Miss Miura Is a linguist of note,
speaking English. French, Italian and
German with facility. She sings her roles
in all four and is a cultivated woman of
great breadth of mind and possesses a
keen Insight into the various problems
of the daj.
TAMAKI MIURA
The catholicity of operatic art was
never more evidenced than by the fact
that a Japanese prima donna has attained
fame in several noted roles. The artist
Is Tamakl Miura, one of the principals of
the Boston Grand Opera Company, and
she will he seen at the Metropolitan
Opera House in 10 days.
Miss Miura for that designation ap
pears to be a more consistent affix to her
name than either Mile, or Signorina Is
a native of Toklo and a pupil of the
conservator' of music of that metropolis
From her earliest years she was musical
and speedily exhausted the facilities of
study of which the institution boasted.
Her ambitions were wide and she looked
with longing eyes toward Europe, where
great singers were winning laurels and
also more substantial remunerations
She went to Berlin, where her aptitude
for study and work made most of the
pupils seem shirkers in comparison. In
one year she had accomplished more than
many students do in three, and was ready
for her European debut She had pre
viously sung the role of Santuzza in
"Cavalleria Kusticana,-" in Tokio, and has
won the praise of her countrymen. i
But now Miura was face to face with
difficulties. She had to compete with

Recovered fiom the operation which prevents her appearance on the
legitimate stage, the Divine Sarah has fallen back most successfully
upon the photoplay. Here she is seen in the first film she has made
since she lost her limb, "Jeanne Dore."
Farm and the Stage
Farms With You
One would never associate Ray Samuels
with farm life after once seeing "The
Blue Streak of Vaudeville" on the stage,
but it is nevertheless a fact that the rag
time singer and former star of several
hig musical shows is dearly in love with
her farm.
The singer is the proud owner of one
of the most model "actors' farms" on
Long Island. That is saying much, for
that little strip of land is literally covered
with them. Miss Samuels works 10 weeks
in the jear and "rests" the other 12. Her
resting consists of a back-to-the-farm ex
cursion, and all through the summer
months, clad In a gingham frock and an
old straw hat. she putters around on the
farm on Long Island, overseeing every
detail and defying the ravages of sunburn
and freckles, to do her part to bring
around a successful harvest-
