Clara Butt Took Up Too Much Room
AMONG those who storm the artist’s room after a concert none is more determined than the autograph hunter. In common with most great musical stars, Alexander Kipnis_ signs . programmes, photographs and autograph books with a kindly patience. But one type of birthday book he was occasionally given on his Australian and New Zealand tour never failed to amuse him. In the space for his birthday, on February 1, there was practically no room left: Clara Butt’s signature had been secured! The autograph of this great English contralto resembled her own generous proportions, and those who signed after her had to squeeze in their signatures at the side.
