About this Item

Wrappers. Program for the New York debut of Miriam Solovieff. Inscribed on the face below her portrait, "All my love, Miriam Solovieff." Clipping concerning the concert signed in type F.D.P. laid in. The then 15-year old Solovieff had been performing since 1933, at first in her native California. In 1940, by then living in New York, she survived a murderous rampage by her estranged father, and continued her career, albeit with understandable lasting psychological damage. She eventually settled in Paris and died there in 2003. She was featured on March 15, 2024 in the New York Times series "Overlooked," devoted to remarkable people whose deaths had gone unreported in The Times. Among other details of her later life, she participated in the first racially integrated USO tour in 1945 at the invitation of Paul Robeson. A very scarce autograph.
