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.

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.

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- B.
