Giuseppina Amici — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Giuseppina Amici, before she became a member of the Itala company, had one ambition in life, and that — to be a singer of grand opera. For years she had studied with this one idea in mind.

By mere chance, she took a part in a motion picture play and became so interested in the work that she postponed the fulfillment of her former ambition; then came an illness which deprived her temporarily of the use of her singing voice, and she turned her whole attention to perfecting herself in the art which demanded of her accomplished action and not voice.

So great has been her success with the Itala people that she has relinquished her operatic ambitions and devotes her whole interest to film work. Much of her success in this line Signorina Amici owes to an inherent talent for dramatics, as she is the scion of a family whose name has long helped to make history for the Italian stage.
