Btw: the original caption is "GENS. ..." (= generals), not "GEN. S. ..."

"Pietro Cimara (1887 in Rome – 1967 in Milan) was an Italian composer, conductor and pianist. He was a student of Respighi at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome. His output included many songs. He was published by Francesco Bongiovanni of Bologna. From 1950-1957 he was conductor at the Metropolitan Opera, where he had a stroke in 1957 while conducting La Forza del Destino, after which he retired to Italy." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietro_Cimara This may have been taken in New York, where he appeared accompanying Luisa Tetrazzini (on piano) at the Hippodrome on Nov. 30, 1919, and a subsequent national tour. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A03E7D7153BEE... chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85058396/1920-01-07/ed-... chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85042345/1920-01-26/ed-... gallery.multcolib.org/document/luisa-tetrazzini-soprano-p...

As to whether he was a Count, and she a Countess, this from a 2003 biography: "The Cimara family was somehow connected to aristocracy but the relationship is unclear. Nevertheless, Luigi is said to have been of aristocratic stature, and in Charles Neilson Gattey’s Luisa Tetrazzini the Florentine Nightingale, Pietro is referred to as “Count Cimara.” "As little has been written about Cimara’s personality, even less has been documented about his wife. Cimara was married to M. Clara Cassini,47 who, when mentioned in various newspaper articles and stories, is referred to merely as Cimara’s wife, Clara. The only other information provided about her comes from a 1919 Ellis Island Passenger Record which documents that she was Italian, married, 25 years old--thus making her year of birth either 1893 or 1894, and that her place of residence was London, England." According to this source, the Cimaras arrived in New York aboard the Mauretania on November 25, 1919. (p. 18) repositories.lib.utexas.edu/bitstream/handle/2152/12922/r...

Thanks for the identification information and likely occasion for the photo. The Mauretania appears to have been carrying a number of notables that November. We'll add information at our end.
