A signed headshot of Lorenzo Alvari. Ruth Martin wrote on the back, "Lorenzo
Alvary, bass, Metropolitan Opera, whom we met in St. Louis in 1939. Thomas coached him into the
Met. Mary-Anne [Ruth and Thomas Martin's daughter] knows him from his 'art' side. He was a great
friend of Salvador Dali. He and his wife have a fantastic art collection. He is on Met 'Cosi'
recording in our version. He sang with us frequently in Union City [with the Hudson Grand
Opera]."
