19266543New York: Compagnie Generale Transatlantique 1926. First Thus. Printed Wrappers Stapled. Very Good. Although undated we've posited 1926 as publication date based on the style of the cover and photographs. 8vo measures 6 x 9.25 inches. Unpaginated 24 pp. Promotional brochure intended for American travelers. Frontis. illustration. Substantially illustrated with black-and-white photography mostly interior shots along with a couple exterior views featuring passengers strolling on decks. Borders of photos are enhanced with line drawings. Bound in folded blue stock with three-color design printed on the front cover. Saddle-stapled with staples oxidized at the centerfold with slight migration of rust. A well preserved copy. A superb brochure for one of the fabled ocean liners of the Jazz Age the S.S. France of the French Line fleet operated by Compagnie Generale Transatlantique. She entered into service the week following the sinking of the Titanic. Following WWI the France was "Weekly Express Service" between New York and England or France. Published in New York for discriminating Yank travelers many of whom enjoyed transatlantic travel as an escape from Prohibition constricts and indeed showed a club-like allegiance to The France. <p>In somewhat breathless prose "she isn't as big as the biggest but neither is the Ritz . In speed she is one of the fastest liners on the Atlantic - and one of the most luxurious" the swanky attributes of the ship are extolled as well as the refined company one would keep among fellow passengers. Photos promote first class cabins staterooms and suites the grand salon dining salon smoking room children's playroom gymnasium and deck activity including a tennis match. The cover is an exquisite exercise in restrained French styling presenting an art-deco porthole vignette of the ship's red funnels. A charming publication quite scarce: No copies were located by OCLC. Now housed in a removable clear archival sleeve with an acid-free backing.</p> . Compagnie Generale Transatlantique unknown

A superb art deco brochure for one of the fabled ocean liners of the Jazz Age the S.S. Paris of the French Line fleet operated by Compagnie Generale Transatlantique. We suspect this brochure was produced prior to sinking after a 1929 fire; although refloated activity was chastened by the Great Depression; promoting luxurious travel with lavish collateral was likely limited.

While her first audition in 1923 for the Metropolitan Opera was unsuccessful the Opera's general manager Giulio Gatti-Casazza did subsequently hire Talley for the 1925/26 season. On February 17 1926 she made her debut there as Gilda the daughter of the title character in Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto. At the time and at the age of 19 Talley was the youngest prima donna to ever sing at the Metropolitan Opera. Her pending debut caused a media sensation contrary to Gatti-Casazza's hopes that it would remain low-key. A delegation of two hundred leading citizens of Kansas City her home town arrived via a special train. Tickets were being resold at astronomical prices. A telegraph was set up backstage so her father could send dispatches to the Associated Press. Her performance prompted multiple ovations from the crowd but critics were less enthusiastic. While they thought her debut promising it did not live up to the expectations caused by the media frenzy and her ensuing musical career with the company lasted but a few more years. This White Star Line ephemera no doubt retained as a souvenir of Talley's 1924 journey to Milan where Gatti-Casazza had sent her to continue her music training with Mme Marcella Sembrich 1858 - 1935.
