Beschreibt die Teilnahme an einem Vortrag von Lola Montez Titel auf den Esprit und die Frauen von Paris. Transkription: Frechheit, uns auf den Weg zum Rednerpult drängen und vertrauensvolle zu Chancen. Eine Telefonzentrale erhielt Sitze für [Jesse] Haney und [Frank] Cahill; ich esconsed mich auf der Treppe neben dem Dozent [Lola Montez], wo ich näher zu ihr (und generell Prominenter) als der Rest des Publikums. So hatte ich einen guten Blick auf Lola. Sie muss sehr schön gewesen ist, ist jetzt eine Kleinigkeit passee, hat sehr feine dunkle Augen, Nase, nur ein wenig acquiline, gutes Profil, schöne Kehle und schwarzes Haar. Sie war Dres

Describes attending a lecture by Lola Montez titled On the Wits and Women of Paris. Transcription: impudence, pushing our way towards the rostrum and trusting to chances. An attendant got seats for [Jesse] Haney and [Frank] Cahill; I esconsed myself on the steps beside the lecturer [Lola Montez], where I was closer to her (and more generally prominent) than the rest of the audience. So I had a good look at Lola. She must have been exceedingly handsome, is now a trifle passee, has very fine dark eyes, nose just a little bit acquiline, good profile, beautiful throat and black hair. She was drest in exquisite taste, black velvet, not low in the neck, with white-lace berthe or collar, or whatever the women call it. The graceful slope of her back and full-though not crinolinely-vulgarized-redundant-swell of skirt was as Parisian as though she'd stept out of Gavarni. She has a pleasant voice, indicative, though, of latent shrewishness when she grows excited; and speaks with a French accent. The lecture 'On the Wits and Women of Paris' was amusing, discursive, ungrammatical, immethodical and anecdotal. You could read the woman very well through it. (She does write her own lectures.) Her admiration of [Alexandre] Dumas, [Joseph] Mery &c and their free and easy lives, gettings into debt and theatrical generosities was very characteristic. She quoted a very un-equivocal answer of ? I think ? [Virginie] Dejazet's the actress, who being questioned as to how she had acquired such formative, jewelry &c said It was the result of a thousand and one nights. The audience were hardly quick-witted enough to catch this. She pitched into American ladies respecting there [their] love of dress ? whereat some of them scowled and the men applauded. [James] Parton, Fanny Fern & her daughter were present in the gallery, though we didn't perceive them. Here+?-?-?s a story or two of Lola, from [Henry] Clapp who knew her in Paris and visits her now.
