American Soprano MakesD Debut as Gilda
Miss Cora Chase Sings at the Metropolitan With Fresi
and Pleasing Voice-Mr. Hackett Returns

The cast singing the second perform
ance of 'Rigoletto" at the Metropolitan
Opera House last evening contained
much interest and novelty. Mr.. De Luca
in the title role repeated his admirable
impersonation of the Jester.
Charles Hackett as the Duke made
his first appearance in the house this
season. He has the correct and elegant
bearing in his characterization of the
part, and though his voice is not a warm
one throughout he again sang his music
with much excellence.
The Gfldd was Miss Cora Chase, a
singer new to the Metropolitan forces,
who comes from Boston and has sung
in one opera house in Europe. Her ap-
pearance, combining a fine figure with
aristocratic bearing and personal charm,
was greatly in her favor. She was evil
IDENTIFY nervous owing to the trying or
deal of a debut. but she was, neverthe-
less. able to give a creditable perform
ance.
Miss Chase disclosed n soprano voice
of good carrying power and range, with
a quality at times Metallic, but again
fresh and pleasing Her singing, as In
the forid work Of the caro- Nome" solo.
had commendable technic and she was
further able TO show feeling. She had
a real success with the audience:

Mardones as Sparafucile and Miss Flora

Russian Tenor Makes Debut.

A Russian tenor, Dmitry Dobkin, made
his American debut yesterday at Car
negie Hall in the concert of the Phil
harmonic Society. led by Henry Hadley,
assistant conductor. He sang as the
second number in the list two operate
airs, namely In Russian. the Song Of
the Hindu Jeweller'' from Rimsky- Kor-
sakov's "Sadko," and the "E Lucevan
lie STEELE" air from Puccinis "Tosca."
He disclosed a good voice, and singing
with musical taste and fine dramatic
feeling, as he did. he made a favorable
impression upon the audience. The or
chestral selections were Berlioz's 'Ro-
man Carnival" overture. Victor Her
bert's suite, woodland Fancies," and
two tone poems, "The Swan of Tuonela"
of Sibelius and Richard Strauss's Don
juan" Mr.. Hadley was very warmly
applauded at the close of the Herbert
suite, though tie hearing of the light.
but pleasing, score seemed to hardly
warrant the demonstration.

Professor or Switchman?

During last years campaign for
better pay for college teachers the
president of one of the universities
asked: Are we paying the men who
train our minds less than we pay the
men who mind our trains?'
When JOHN ID. ROCKEFELLER little
more than year ago gave $780,
100000 to relieve the distressed teach
ers the General Education Board
proceeded to learn exactly what pay
the professors were getting. Com
pairing the figures with the railroad
wage scale Of July 20. 1920, we
find that the answer to the college
presidents question Is Yes.
OF the $3.50 teachers in the $50
academic institutions investigated by
the General Education Board only 40
per cent. received as much salary as
yard switchman gets-approxi-
mately $1,000 year. Only 80 per
cent. were as well paid as passenger
firemen. Only Is per cent made as
much In a year as passenger con-
ductor makes. Only II per cent.
drew $4,000 year, the earnings of a
passenger engineer.
And one-third of these $3.50 teach
ers received such low salaries that
there Is no parallel for them in the
railroad business. Under the award
of last July the railway clerks and
brakemen make about $1,000 a year.
Nearly 5000 of the teachers were
paid less than $1,000. And all this
was after the teachers had received
increases Of % per cent.
Only one teacher In hundred re-
ceives more than $4,000 year. Only
two in hundred make $4,000 Theirs
is not a profession which rewards
long years of study with handsome
income. Their condition in the days
when their salaries had not risen at
all to meet the increased cost of liv-
Ing was perilous. not only to their
own well being but to the future of
American education.
Thanks to the efforts Of men and
women who. like Mr.. ROCKEFELLER,
have been trying to mitigate the trials
of these badly paid professional peo-
pie, the teachers are taking heart Of
grace again. But those who train
minds are still getting less to live on
than those who mind trains.

Pier Hunting a Business.
Brokers Help Ship Agents to Find
Berths for Their Vessels.

To THE New YORK HERALD: In an
swer to "H.'s" letter regarding the
methods of finding berths for ships at
city piers. I beg to say that the num-
Der of unshedded piers subject to open
wharfage rates at which vessel draw
ing twenty feet or more could berth is
In all in the whole port. III" is quite
right in saying there is difficulty in To-
eating the various dockmasters, as they
are in their offices not more than an
hour or two day. their duties outside
requiring most OF their time
The brokers whose business It is to
locate and obtain berths for their
clients vessels have lists of all the I'M
shielded piers; they are acquainted with
the dimensions. depth of water and
other particulars regarding these piers.
When they get an order they send out
their runners tc locate a vacant pier
suitable for the vessel.
When they find such a pier they do
not depend upon telephoning. but file
their application personally with the
docbmaster. who. IL he has no previous
application for the vacant berth on file,
is compelled to accept the application.
AS TO the charges made to the steam
ship companies by these brokers' know
nothing but I do know that the steam
ship companies are familiar with the
clty's charge for wharfage. which is 2
cents a ton for the first 200 tons anu
half q cent ton for the excess over
200 tons; that is to say. a vessel of
1000 net tons pays the city $23 day
at an unshedded pier.
AS for the ship owners being mulcted
I differ with H." as / am informed it
is worth as much as $500 day or more
to have berth Immediately either to
unload cargo or ballast, to load cargo
or to make repairs.
The trouble with some concerns who
operate Shipping Board vessels is they
may have a vessel or two month con-
signed to them and they expect to find
a berth Immediately by telephoning, not
the fact that at the time
of the arrival of their steamship all
available berths at the unshedded piers
may be occupied or engaged.
l would suggest that agents who OPP
crate Shipping Board vessels file their
names. addresses and telephone num-
bers at the headquarters OF the Dock
Department, Pier A. so that the dock
master in whose district there are piers
suitable for their vessels may notify
them when there Is a vacancy and give
them the preference. A. c. r.

Boston informs the world that "the
belief that women wish to conceal
their age whenever possible was shat
tered when Representative ROLAND d.
SAWYER attempted to introduce a bill
making it unnecessary for feminine
voters to give their ages when regis
tering to vote. The bill found no sup
porters from the women present" AS
a matter of fact we have not observed
that women have ever objected to the
disclosure Of their ages for legitimate
purposes. The reports to that effect
seem to have no better foundation
than the imaginings of humorists hard
pressed for a Jest.

clearer on O second hearing and con-
firmed the impression made before.
1t is a work of large aspiration and of
breadth of structural style. 1t is not Of
the type which appeals to the general
music lover, because It's melodic and
harmonic materials are chiefly of the
kinds called modern. But it has rhyth-

favorable to display of skill I'm plano

small effect. The audience was Of good

Unrest.

The trees and the wind are weaving lace
On the silver loom OF the sky.
And I am set In the tower to watch
While the weary clouds go by:
In the sad, gray tower where the snow
Sits through
And the ghosts
OF dear dreams lie.
Always TO watch, but never TO weave
Their beauty Is beauty yet,
But he who would and cannot create
Can his soul or his hands forget?
Through the narrow windows the clouds
look In
And they see
That my eyes are wet

These figures do not support DIR.

Nor Is It supported by the number Of
cases of pulmonary tuberculosis regis

According to the Bulletin, on Deem
Der 81, 1919, there were 30,036 cases
registered, while on December 81,
1920, the number was, 27.9i9. AS for

flor the first nine months of last
year from tuberculosis"
The facts we have cited concerning
Or. CoPELAND's declaration that stu
berculosis is making greater
inroads In New York State" abso-
lutely contradict his disquieting out
giving. They encourage us to believe
that we are continuing to make prog
ress against the great white plague.
And this contradiction justifies us in
believing that Dr. CoPELAND's gener-
alization about the necessity of stop
ping commerce, immigration and
travel to save ourselves from pesti-
lences has no substantial basis in fact
but is merely q rhetorical outburst
similar to others which have come
