Now this is a strange little article from 1922 concerning opera singer Ganna Walska---and Croton's Dudley Field Malone. Click on the images below. You may recall that the late Robert Scott deemed Malone worthy of a two-parter in his CHRONICLES OF CROTON'S BOHEMIA series. READ THAT HERE.
As for Ganna Walska, Ganna Walska (born Hanna Puacz on June 26, 1887 – March 2, 1984)--she was a Polish opera singer and garden enthusiast who created the Lotusland botanical gardens at her mansion in Montecito, California. Ganna Walska was a coloratura soprano with a vocal range of approximately 2.5 octaves. She was married six times, four times to wealthy husbands. The lavish promotion of her lackluster opera career by her fourth husband, Harold Fowler McCormick, inspired aspects of the screenplay for Citizen Kane. READ MORE HERE.
