Eleonora de Cisneros was born in New York, where she has done the greater part of her comprehensive studying under Mme. Murio-Celli. She made her debut in 1900 at the New York Metropolitan Opera House. Among her favorite roles she counts Dalila, Carmen, Amneris in "Aida" and Brunhilde in "Walkure."
Her operatic career is astounding in its breadth of experience and in the extent of the singer's repertoire, which includes all the important contralto roles which are being presented at the present time. Among her more noteworthy triumphs are the creation of the roles of Candia della Leonessa in "Figha and Ioris;" Clytemnestra in "Elektra" in the Scala Theatre in Milan; revival of "Don Carlos" at Naples; singing Arsace in "Semiramide" at Lisbon and creating Delilah in Australia.
Eleonora de Cisneros has sung in New York, Mexico, Milan, Ravenna, Trieste, Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon, London, Petersburg, Vienna, Naples, Sydney, Melbourne, Manheim, San Sebastian, Antwerp and all of the great cities of the United States.
So great was her success in a remarkable operatic tour with Mme. Melba in Australia, 1911, that she has been engaged for the summer of 1912 to appear as the star in a concert tour embracing all the leading towns of Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania, returning to America in order to sing with the Chicago Opera Company in 1912-1913.

The Hoffmann Quartet
(See Cover)
Jacques Hoffmann organized the remarkable quartet bearing his name during the season of 1901-1902, for the furtherance of all that is best in classic and modern concert music, and through the earnest and enthusiastic endeavors of the organization and its leader, the Hoffmann Quartet stands pre-eminent to-day as the representative string quartet of Boston.
Numerous exquisite compositions of American and foreign origin have been first introduced to an appreciative audience by these artists whose concerts have been the occasion of many notable appearances of the greatest musicians of Europe and America.
The uniformly high character of the quartet's repertoire has set a standard of excellence for similar organizations and the brilliant execution of many of the most difficult selections has won universal admiration and applause. Criticism has always been of the most favorable nature, the press upon every occasion unanimously lauding the masterly facility and sympathetic smoothness of the players' performance.
Walter Van Brunt, who has sung so many popular songs for the Edison, is now creating a sensation in vaudeville. He is "teaming" with Halsey Moore, and the pair has already sung its way into public favor.
