Contexto
The engagement of Mme. Theodora Orridge, an English contralto, was modestly announced at the Metropolitan Opera House yesterday afternoon, but the interesting reason for the engagement was withheld. It may be stated, however, in all secrecy, that Mrs. Louise Homer, who is the mainstay of the contralto section at the Opera House now, is about to receive a visit from the stork.
