Her career has been exceptionally long; her stage life a continuous triumph. In a remote way she can be affiliated with Jenny Land, for though but a mere child when she heard the great Swedish singer, she imitated her manner of singing so closely that her parents at once put her under musical instructors. It seems but yesterday that she was in her prime, and yet she was a public singer fifty-five years ago. So, with apologies for even suggesting a lady's age, I must assign her to the period of the fifties, - a young contemporary of Jenny Lind, Sontag, and Alboni. I must say a little about her family, for its history throws some light upon her musical environment and heredity. There was not an impulse, an influence, or a purpose in her early life which was not musical. Theseare the facts as told to me years ago by Maurice Stra- kosch, her brother-in-law. Her mother was Catarina Chiesa, a prima donna, who married Barili, her teacher. After his death she married Salvatore Patti, and as Catarina Barili-Patti she sang in this country with considerable success. The mother must have been a more dramatic singer than Adelina, for Norma was her best role.
