A 5-3/8 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide insert printed in brown on light gold paper announces "Miss Marjorie Lawrence has been forced to cancel her appearance in 'Salome' this evening due to sudden illness. The management was fortunate enough to secure for the role of Salome Mme Rose Pauly who is famous for her interpretation of Richard Strauss heroines".</p><p>The Hungarian dramatic soprano Rose Pauly 1894-1975 studied in Vienna with Rosa Papier-Paumgartner. She appeared in the German premiere of Kata Kabanova in Koln and went on to sing such roles as Sieglinde the Empress and Rachel creating the role of Agave in Egon Wellesz' "Die Bakchantinnen".

His subjects went on to include works on the American West including works created along the Santa Fe and Oregon Trails.</p><p>The music critic for the Chicago Daily Tribune Cecil Smith wrote the following: "Thanks to Dr. Rodzinski's staggering mastery of the score to Miss Pauly's exceptional self-command and equally exceptional operatic gifts and to the high merit of the other principal artists this revival of 'Salome' was absolutely electric. The huge audience responded after the final curtain with one of the greatest ovations Chicago has seen and heard in a decade."</p> Chicago: Chicago Civic Opera House, 1940. paperback
