Miss Sparkes Sings in Recital
Metropolitan Company Member
Pleases i'm Her New Field

Miss Leonora Sparkes has long been
member of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, where she has been useful,
II not precisely brilliant artist. She
appeared yesterday afternoon in new
field, but one in which she has had
considerable experience in England.
Her appearance was at Aeoian Hall,
evinccd an interest that was more than
merely friendly. 1t was evident long
before Miss Sparkes had sung the first
group that her true vocation lies not
in the world of opera, but in the inti-
mate region of song recital Her in
terpretations were intelligent and
filled with charm, and her voice warm
in quality and easily produced. In
deed, it seemed a different voice from
the one the Metropolitan's patrons have
been accustomed to, proving once more
that the size of the Broadway audi
forum Is fatal to many a really ad-
mirable artist.
Miss Sparkes sang everything we'll
and some things superbly. In the lat
ter category were the air of Liza from
Debussy's "L'Enfant Prodigue," the
same composers LA Mer est plus
belle,' Goring Thomas's "Le Baiser."
and last but not least, believe Me.
if all Those Endearing Young Charms. y
IN all of these the clarity of her enun-
citation, the uniformity of her scale
and the purity of her tone were finely
evident, while when necessary she dis
played an emotional warmth which was
unexpected by those who had known
her only in opera. Other of her songs
were Coccini's "Amarilli," Scarlatti's
lie Violette," the romanza from Cata-
lonIs La Wally," and a group of
Dvorak. The accompaniments of Roger
Oemlng were admirably sympathetic.

Teachers Told to Strike
In a Body BY Miss TaH
Years Work and Dempsey 100000 for One
Fight She Asks, While Professors Must Starve

1t would be better for college pro-
fessors to strike in body for higher
pay than to strike individually by leav-
ing their profession, declared Miss
Helen H. Taft, acting president of
Bryn Mawr College, in an address here
tonight at meeting held at the Bryn
Mawr Club in behalf of the colleges
endowment fund campaign.
Miss Taft asserted it is to avert
necessity for strike Of any kind that
the colleges Of the country have
launched their drives for funds. She
declared that teachers already have
begun revolt against less than a liv-
ing wage and that radicals have ap-
peared among the teachers in New
York schools and one at least in Bos-
ton" Hundreds Of schools in New
York and Maine have had to close for
lack of teachers, she said, and unless
salaries are increased "a few years
will see us without teachers"
Cites Ruth and Dempsey
"The/ discrimination against the
teacher in contrast with those who
follow other professions has been
Marked" she continued. "The public
will pay Babe Ruth 100000 for half a
year and Jack Dempsey 100000 or
5000, 900 for a single fight, but they
will not pay their college professors
