WHEN MY BIG CHANCE CAME

How She Rose From Stenography to Grand Opera

the semi-circle around the piano. the sounds made
with my voice not being considered valuable con-
tribution to the harmony of these occasions. When
expert called in to pass judgment on the
new phenomenon, predictions were made for
promising vocal career. Since that week my mu-
steal education has never been interrupted.
l remember how frightened four years
ago when Charles Virgins of St. Louis arranged
to have me sing for Schumann-Heink, who
was there for concert. l suppose must have
been gasping for breath at the idea of being in her
presence because the great singer placed arm
about me and with voice of great kindness she
told me she had sung for Kings and Queens and the
greatest people on earth and after all they were
only people, and she said must never be afraid of
any one, certainly not of her.
Tut, best of all, she predicted that if I could
= come to New York to study I might be
ready for opera in two years. It is wonder
full what you can do when You know some one

lonely months. I suppose thousands of girls from
all over the country have gone through the same
experiences In the great city. For there is some
thing in us that makes willing to endure almost
anything and to keep chins proud for the sake
of whatever crown we set out to win Often at
night thought of giving up the fight and going
back home because Of the terrible longing to be
with people who cared for me. But every morning
was new day and quitting was the last thing to
be thought Of
Things went easier after l was able to give up
my law stenography and the daily subway trip to
Bowling Green, because wealthy friends in st.
Lcuis-Mr. and Mrs. Charles Virgins and Mr..
BENJAMIN Gratz-offered to help me in my musical
career great day came Unexpectedly while |
was coaching for Tristan with Paul Eisler, assist
ant conductor at the Opera. He said he would
like to have me sing for Mr.. Bodanzky The idea
of an addition at the Metropolitan Opera House
frightened me until the crucial hour came But
when found myself singing there the experience

whose 7opinon you value has faith in you. Within
eighteen months of the day left home made my
debut on the Metropolitan stage in "Manon Les.
caut" at the New Years Eve performance.
Finding enough money to come away was the
great problem. My fathers art glass business was
sufficient to support a comfortable home, but
could not expect him to finance me in New York
So decided to raise some money by getting up
benefit recital for myself. l engaged the theatre,
ordered the tickets and invited the "best" people
Of st. Louis to become subscribers. did all this
work myself, even to stamping the envelopes, and
when the time came took in the money and gave
the entire program. Everything went beautifully.
And then was invited to be soloist for the Friday
and Saturday concerts Of the Symphony Orchestra
You have to live there to realize what an honor
that is in your home town.

Perhaps this sounds as if loved work enough
70 enjoy drudging away every day. But always l
have disliked work and always have attacked it
because hoped from day to day that easier times
lay beyond the immediate task. Life has been like
that ever since can remember. At school hated
study, but worked awfully hard, hoping could
play when the lessons would be over. But there
would always be lessons, and it was just like
me to pick out profession that will keep me
studying all my life.
MUSIC has been my habitat always. Ny par
lyl ents, like many people in moderate cir
cumstances in our part of the country, were
subscribers TO the symphony concerts. Our home
interests centred about art and music At the age
of fourteen gave the family great surprise by
divulging the fact that had voice. 1t was hard
for them to take this discovery seriously, because

m on this when ! wondered
whether it was worth while go
ing through so much heartache
for anything in the world. 1t
seemed to me that there was
something so terribly inhuman
in the crowds of strangers that
pushed me about in the SUBJ
way stations and were too busy
with their own affairs to care
anything about me or what
might be thinking of them.
Into this abysmal solitude there
came those days of light, the
promise of happiness at hearing
the next opera. | was always
there on Saturdays and as
many evenings during the week
as / could afford. 1t seems like
yesterday when used to gaze
pensively at the singers and
wonder how they looked close
up and speculate on what they
might say if tried to meet
them after the performances.
In those days l was a Ste
nographer in a law office on
Lower Broadway. Early every
morning before I went to work
/ took a singing lesson from
Mime. Mihr-Hardy. Except that
/ was away from home and
from all my old friends, life on
its surface was not so very diff
ferent from what it had been in
st. Louis. At eighteen, after l
left high school, l became ste
nographer for the Town Club in
st. Louis, an organization of
business and professional women
who have a habit of inviting
celebrated people to talk at
their luncheons.
My highest ambition then
was to become a church singer
and to work by easy stages into
. musical career at home, be-
cause ! thought that would be
comfortable and extremely
pleasant That was why got
up an hour earlier in the morn
ing than other business girls
and took daily singing lesson
ON the way to work. Soon /
