*The story of Rosa Poquele reads like a novel—in fact, it has been the subject of one of our dramatic operas in recent years. One of the most dramatic figures was born in Mendon, Conn. Early in life he was associated with a chain of moving picture theatres in his home town, later going to New York and stopping at a New Haven hotel. Following a time in European theatres he became a noted prominent New York teacher. The las effort at public life occurred when he met Mr. Garni-Casassa, manager of the Metropolitan Opera in New York.*
*Oddly enough, producing a sensation, she was the "La Force du Destine" which in her case seems self-evident.*
