About the Item
Story illustration for “Love Song” by Rupert Hughes for Hearst’s International Combined with Cosmopolitan, published July 1934.
The full caption reads: “The last act of a great American opera — and the divine Meriel drifting down from heaven, singing as the very soul of the carillon bells!”
“Love Song” chronicles the path to stardom for singer Meriel Lawton, detailing her rise from her discovery in a small Midwestern town to her eventual success as a prima donna with the Metropolitan Opera Company. Meriel's professional life is intertwined with personal drama, including a love triangle with her former fiancé, a tumultuous marriage to the talented composer Emil Woodring, and a subsequent affair with an Italian musician. The story culminates with Meriel’s secret marriage to the fiery conductor, Georges de Cavenac, following the success of Emil Woodring’s second opera.
