Note: A review by Carl Van Vechten of Marguerite d'Alvarez's autobiography "Forsaken Altars." The review is ambivalent in judgment. He notes her powers of description, though she did not make much of a mark in the opera. He states that her concert hall performances were more successful, but she does not mention these performances much in writing.
