Mary LaSalle Sails for Europe
to Study One Year for
Grand Opera.
WONDERFUL SOPRANO VOICE

New York, Jan. 22.-"My heartfelt
thanks to all the men and women who
have been so kind to me. / did not
know there were so many nice people
i'm the world" were the parting words
of Mary La Sale, who sailed for
Europe to spend a year in study be-
fore becoming grand opera star. If
the judgment of competent critics is
confirmed Miss La Sale is destined
90 become the worlds greatest soprano
singer
only a short time ago Miss La Sale
was virtually without friends or mon
ey. The death of her father i'm Bea-
trice Neb had left her an orphan.
Her voice obtained for her a position
as a chorus singer in a musical COM
edy company. Riccardo Martin, the
celebrated tenor, chanced to hear her
sing and pronounced her voice to be
the most wonderful he had ever heard.
The orphan girl was advised to come
TO New York. She arrived in the city
without funds and appealed to the
grand opera managers for a trial.
Guilio Gatti- Casazza, the director of
the Metropolitan Opera house, heard
the young girl sing and agreed with
Riccardo Martin that her voice was
the most marvellous soprano he had
ever heard, even exceeding the natural
voice of Mime. Mclba.
Thereafter the fortunes of the poor
orphan girl began to brighten. New
Workers. of wealth and social prom
ncncc fastened to give her aid. Sew
cral thousand dollars were contributed
TO send her to Europe, where she is to
study for year under Maestro Lom-
bardi. II is agreed that when her year
of preparation is ended Miss La Sale
shall return to America To become one
OF the star soprano of he Motropoli-
tan company.

LAWYER AND AUTHOR
REBUKES CHURCH PEOPLE

NEW YORK. May 26.-Bolton Hall
lawyer and author and son OF the late
Rev. DR.. John Hall has sent an open
letter 10 the general assembly OF the
Presbyterian church rebulling that body
for It's attitude IN regard TO the Jeffries-
johnson fight. lie SAYS in part:
While in every big city young girls
are snatched away 10 lives OF slavery
while all over the land little children are
worked TO death in our factories while
the monopolies put prices so high as 20
Increase these shrleklng evils. is it pos
sible that the church can find nothing
more serious 10 attack than prize fight
already sufficiently well advertised?
Il am the son of q clergyman myself
member OF the Presbyterian church, and
| speak often In the churches. and II
makes me sick 10 sec the petty inef-
fective time serving OF the church organi-
zatlons, Whenever there is a real fight
on against a political or social evil the
churches are sure TO be found dragging
red herring across the trail with a cru
sade against some such horror as Sunday
saloons or playing craps.
Religion only makes Itself contempti-
bic by such a bid for support as an anti
Prize fight protest"
