Cotton Relief and Opera Trade in New York
A feature blends a Southern charity drive for cotton decorations with a report on European opera guests returning to America. Mary Hobertson promotes cotton as decorative goods from plantations near Bronowall Jackson. Also covered are European opera singers like May Schielder and Ida Vere Imonton arriving in New York, with musings on guest appearances, contracts, and the life of American performers abroad. The piece touches on the Waning of Broadway’s glamour and a trader’s voyage toward Africa aboard the Adeline Carleton.
