Description
V1p173b In PHOTO ALBUM-VAULT: ** fc917.9461 A3, Vol. I, page 173 center. This photograph is contained in one of two volumes by Dobbin titled "Album of San Francisco." Caption written under photo: "Tetrazzini [with the "A" written in pencil over an "E"] singing in front of the "Chronicle" Christmas Eve." Photo shows opera singer Luisa Tetrazzini shaking hands with an unidentified woman. Tetrazzini is on the left. She sang on Christmas Eve, 1910, on a platform next to Lotta's Fountain in front of the Chronicle Building at Geary and Kearny. This resulted from a contract dispute in which a concert producer claimed that Tetrazzini was obligated to sing for him in New York that night. She won the dispute and sang for free to a crowd of over ten thousand, according to "Mirror of the Dream" by T.H. Watkins and R.R. Olmsted.
