Opera singer; in fall 1915 she was coming to the US, a 21-year-old from Trieste: "Toscanini Wavers Over His Return," New York Times (25 September 1915): 11.

Thanks for the details about Ida Cajetti. We will add more information when we update.

Adam Beck (1857-1925) was a Canadian politician and head of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario; his wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Beck His grave: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=7882413 His wife was the former Lilian Ottaway (1878-1921) of Hamilton, posthumous only child of an English football legend, Cuthbert Ottaway: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuthbert_Ottaway She was an expert equestrian, and played tennis and lawn bowling as well; one site says she was the first woman to judge the National Horse Show in New York; she was inducted into the London (ONT) Sports Hall of Fame just this year: blogs.canoe.ca/brandnewblog/general/lilian-ottaway-beck-l... Her grave: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=39449581 They had a daughter, Marion Auria Beck (1904-1944).

Her appointment to judge the 1915 show was attacked in an anonymous letter. This account discusses that as well as her qualifications: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9500EFDA1239E333A... He was, in 1915, advising the Canadian government on its military needs for horses, and visited the Western Front, leaving New York via the White Star Liner, Adriatic, in late April. His interesting account of his trip and what he saw of trench warfare at the time, is reported in the New York Times of May 25, 1915. As Lady Beck is holding a White Star Lines document in this photo, perhaps her ticket, this was likely taken aboard the Adriatic as they left New York. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A03E3DB1338E633A...

Thanks pennylrichardsca and artolog for the research on this couple. We will add some of it to the record when we update.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons I don't think 'This is my lovely day' had been written yet in 1943. Wiki says 1947 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bless_the_Bride
