Among the younger prima donnas who have attracted nearly as much
attention abroad as they have in this country is Zelie de Lussan. She
is an American girl by birth and received her musical training in
New York and Boston. Subsequently she studied abroad, and after some
concert work in France and Germany, returned to the United States,
where she appeared in English and grand opera. Her successes from the
inception of her artistic career were almost continuous. Besides her
vocal gifts she owns histrionic talents of a high order. Subsequent to
her last New York appearance, she was again called to Europe, and in
that connection has given renewed assurance of her abilities. She is
one of the several American girls who have succeeded in a profession
which bristles with difficulties.
