SCRUBWOMAN
IS FOUND TO BE
OPERA SINGER
PlTTSia Kf.ll. Pa.. April 11*—“Ten
thousand regulars to France.” shouted
a newsbov.
A scrubwoman on her knees in the
lobby ot* the William Pen hotel, brush
in hand and bucket beside her. heard
the cry. Over a drawn but stii1 beau
tiful face, which showed lines ot pov
erty and sorrow, came an expression
of joy. A smile, evidently long a
stranger to her thm lips, transformed
her expression. A moment later she
was singing as she worked.
It was “The Marseillaise” which
>he sang. And never before was the
stirring war hymn of France sung in
an American hotel lobby as she sang
it. The clerks, the guests, the bell
boys hurrying across the floor, alike
were spellbound. The voice was that
of a trained singer and one of un
usual sweetness and power.
The scrubwoman, her eyes alight
with hope, sang on to the end. uncon
scious of her surroundings and of her
audience. Then she gasped as she
looked around.
“It is glorious news.” she stam
mered. “Now we will win the war
with American troops beginning to go
over and join the allies*”
The scrubwoman is Cecilia Samar
rari. only a few years ago a prima
donna in the Italian grand opera
houses. When she admitted her iden
tity, she told her story briefly. She
married a Krench officer just before
the outbreak of hostilities in Europe,
over the opposition of her family, with
whom she broke.
Then came August, l!M4. and her
husband was one of the first victims
of the war on Krench soil, broken
hearted. she resolved never to sing
again, and came to America to try to
support herself. With her happiness
had gbne her ambition, and it was
enough for her that as a scrubwoman
her \vages bought the food and shel-j
ter to continue the life she no longer
valued.
Madame Samarrari’s story has
aroused great interest in Pittsburgh
and its surrounding territory. She
will not have to remain a scrubwoman
long, for offers of better paid and
more agreeable work are pouring in
upon her. There have come proposals
of marriage, too, some by telegraph,
some by telephone and others by word
of mouth. Hut the beautiful Italian
woman has only one answer:
“I have a holy memory and it is
anchored on a bloody field of France.”
