Add to basketCondition: Very good. - An original 10 inch high by 8 inch wide matte-finish sienna-toned photograph of the soprano by Melbourne Spurr of Los Angeles. The photograph, a head and shoulders portrait of Mary McCormic portrays her in a dark jacket over a matching dark blouse with a brooch in the lapel of the jacket. The singer gentl…y smiles straight at the camera. The photographer's name "Melbourne Spurr, Los Angeles" is embossed in blind at the bottom left of the image and his credits are stamped in blue on the verso. The photograph is inscribed diagonally at left to the Nashville Golden Glove Boxing referee Fitz Waldrip, and signed and dated by the singer: "To Fitz Waldrip with best wishes / Mary McCormic / April 20, 1935". The first 2 letters in "April" are slightly smudged. The top edge of the photograph is roughed, possibly from having been removed from an album as would be indicated by rubbing evident along the top edge of the verso. The bottom corners are very lightly bumped. Very good. Said to have been among most famous sopranos in the world during the 1920's and 30's, Mary McCormic (1889-1981) was known for her leading roles with the Paris National Opera, the Opera Comique, the Monte Carlo Opera, and the Chicago Civic Opera. Born in Belleville, Arkansas, McCormic became interested in becoming an opera star at the age of 9 years old. She first studied voice with Emil Frey Myers and her potential became known to others by way of a singing contest sponsored by Mary Garden. She would become a protege of Mary Garden. Following her opera career, the dean of the University of North Texas College of Music, Wilfred Bain, convinced her to create an Opera Workshop at the school in 1944. McCormic founded, directed and defended the school's workshop which she built from scratch on a shoestring budget. She went on to mold the school's opera workshop over 16 years. The only opera company in existence in the Southwest, the North Texas Opera Workshop was the first collegiate touring opera workshop west of the Mississippi and McCormic pioneered an approach to low-cost opera in an era of dwindling funds. Upon its founding in 1957, the Dallas Opera drew on the North Texas Opera Workshop for a steady supply of gifted singers for its chorus.

In 1928, on the advice of Gatti Casazza, she went to Italy to study voice production with Signor Rodolfo Mele. She has appeared for several seasons at Covent Garden in principal roles, and at the Glyndebourne Mozart Festival (where she is permanently engaged). She has also appeared in Denmark, Germany, and Paris, and has been declared by the leading critics of Europe as the greatest Mozart soprano living. Her Bellini and Verdi have been declared unsurpassable. In Puccini she also excels, and in Ravel and Bizet is considered unequaled."Ina Souez (1903-1992) was born Ina Rains to a family of Cherokee heritage in Windsor, Colorado. Upon embarking on her career she took her grandmother's last name "Souez". Ina Souez (1903-1992) first studied with the Canadian contralto Florence Hinman and made her debut as Mimi in Ivrea in 1928. At Florence Hinman's urging, she went to Italy in 1931 to study with Sofia del Campo. She starred in roles in Milan and these were soon followed by appearances in London, Paris and Rome. She first sang at Glyndebourne on the second night of the Festival's inauguration in 1934 and went on to become the festival's prima donna. She made her home in London and was the first to commercially record performances of "Don Giovanni" ad "Cosi fan Tutte". Returning to the US at the outbreak of WWII, she enlisted in the Women's Army Corps and subsequently signed up with the Spike Jones band often playing the comedian as members of the band would remove pigeons from her hat while she sang. Retiring after 10 years, she went on to teach voice in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

In her letter, addressed to her friend and press agent Jean Dalrymple, the soprano mentions the dates of her forthcoming performances: "I am singing LA VEUVE JOYEUSE (The Merry Widow) at Theatre Chate…let . (30-some performances in all.) It is a new production especially for me." She then mentions heading to Puerto Rico and subsequently Australia where "I will be making a film of the Poulenc opera 'La Voix Humaine' for television."

Born in 1946, the American opera soprano Carole Farley was principal singer with the Metropolitan Opera. In 1977, at the age of 19, Farley performed the title role of "Lulu" in the METs premiere production of Berg's opera. Her performances of Poulenc's "La Voix Humaine" and Menotti's "The Telephone" were filmed by Decca in co-production with the BBC, and are now re-issued on DVD, a best-seller in the New York Times charts. Farley is married to the conductor Jose Serebrier.Jean Dalrymple (1902-1998) was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville, appearing with James Cagney and Cary Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing, the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski, Mary Martin, Jose Iturbi, Andre Kostalanetz, Nathan Milstein, and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943, serving as a board member, producer, and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951, Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder, commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.
