BCHUMAW-HEINK, Whose picture appears on the front page of this Issue, was born Ernestine Roessler. She Is a native of Lieben, a village near the city of Prague, Austria. Her father was the com- mandant of the Austrian military post at Lie- ben. As a child she was possessed of ft lively disposition and gave her parents not a little trouble with her desire to play tricks. This vivacity still remains and is one of the rea- sons) why she has become to be known as undisputed queen" of the German prima donnas.

Her first appearance on the professional stage was In Dresden, Germany, in 1678, when she was only sixteen years old, the role being Azo- eeut in "II Trovatore/' in which she scored a brilliant success.
