FACTOID #53: If you thought Antarctica was inhospitable, think again - its land area is only ninety-eight percent ice. Reassuringly, the other 2% is categorised as "barren rock".
Emilio de Gogorza (1872-1949) is an Spanish-American tenor. Born in Brooklyn, New York, but he sang in other languages, including French, English, Italian, and Spanish. He sang with Enrico Caruso a Spanish song (canción española) called "A la luz de la luna" (In the moonlight), composed by Antón y Michelena. He died in 1949 in New York, New York, from lung cancer. 1872 was a leap year starting on Monday (see link for calendar). ... 1949 is a common year starting on Saturday. ...
Among the most stylish singers of his day, Gogorza was also distinguished by his having no stage career but, from the first, a particularly close association with the gramophone.
Such singing as EmiliodeGogorza gave at his recital in Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon was not only a great and keenly felt enjoyment to the discriminating listeners with whom the hall was well-filled.
His marriage to Emma Eames had broken up some years before (she still used Emma Eames deGogorza in her signature as late as 1928, but not long afterwards the very mention of his name was forbidden in her house as, incidentally, was that of F.D.Roosevelt, the Roosevelt dime being illegal currency there).
