This one has a decent chance of being authentic. Might be some more clues on this page. The signature was likely have to have been in 1913/14 timeframe. This was when she played the lead in Madame Butterfly.

Eric, I am with Joe on this one.I don't own an autograph of her. But I have exemplars that date back to paper sales catalogs. In these 3 examples look at the "To" and "Wishes" that are 20 years apart…..In my humble opinion.

Thanks a lot for the opinions and comparison pics! They’re much appreciated! I found this program online and saw that Edith Higgins was in the cast as well but I can’t really identify any of the other signatures on the page. I’m hoping it’s real, she’s the last one I need to complete my oz collection.

Thank you!! :) I found this comparison online and the M in Monna is very similar to the M in Madame Butterfly!

Thrilled this worked out for you. Clara is a difficult autograph to find in authentic form. Congratulations!
