Beatrice
Beatrice loves the opera. The majesty of the theater, the high balconies, the velvet seats, even the smell of must of them that rises when the patrons sit. The loves the drama, the sorrow, the melting of herself that happens when she watches it unfold before her. Each week, from her stenographer's salary, she saves 25 cents. It could be for a dress, a hat, a nice dinner, a subway ride to work. Instead, she gathers up her weekly offerings to the opera, and once a year, she can buy herself a space in that tumultuous, jewel-toned world. It's far from the stage, it's miles from the heavy curtain, but if she closes her eyes and breathes a little, she is right there up front, and she is wearing these earrings.

Astor
At first, she didn't speak; she let her eyes do it for her. She could tell an audience an entire story without saying a word. Then sound came, and when she tried to talk, they said she sounded too much like a man. It was the confidence they didn't like, the way she refused to wilt and end her sentences on a high, delicate note. She went to the stage, where her strong voice was demanded, wanted. And when they came calling after pushing her aside, she agreed, but on her terms. She won an Academy Award, and then they called her "illuminating." Her voice was her, and it had never changed.
