Casima was born on Christmas Eva, 1837. She herself was a love child-the daughter of Liszt and Countess Marie d'Agoult.

She was German, he was Italian, his name being Cecchini. It ap pears that the pair had been ex- amining a villa belonging to the wife's father, Dr. Koppel, a Ber-

They were walking slowly down a public road, near the villa, the husband twe paces behind the wife.

Cosima became Wagner's sccre tary, and the friendship quickly ripened into love.
The affair reached a climax in 1965. when Cosima bore a child, whom she christened Isolde. Von Bulow, to safeguard his wife's hon- our, claimed to be the father, but the ruother admitted-in a lawsuit in Germany in 1915-that. Wagner was the father.

Admirers of Joan' Crawford had the opportunity yesterday of seeing their screen favourite in her first:

talking picture, "Untamed," film directed by Jack Conway, at the Queen's yesterday.

As a girl who was brought up in the "wilds" of Central America. and then brought over to New York City, Joan played her part wonderfully well.. taking into "con- sideration the very different de- mands and standards of the two
