OPERA ALSO DOES
WELL FOR women
Aids in Clarifying American
Girl

New York. July ~ America Is
raising her own song birds.
1t must be somewhat distressed
for imported nightingale to watch
the domestic variety wing their way
into the Metropolitan Opera. once
considered almost sacred to foreign
voices. But the fact remains that OF
the six new women added to the
opera company this year, four are
native talent. Pearl Besuner. sopra-
no. and Grace Divine. mezzo sopra-
no, are from Cincinnati. Jane Car
roll is from Louisville. KY, and
Clara Jacobo is from Lawrence.
Mass.
Don't Need pull
American girls have learned that
the way to Metropolitan success lies
| in having a good voice. No pull.
no foreign sounding name. no repu-
tation. Anyone can receive an audi
ton by asking for it and making
an appointment. It's as simple as
that-easier. actually, than crash
| ing the musical stage.
An opera engagement, too, means
money in the bank. In her first
year in the Metropolitan, Marion
Talley. the pride of Kansas City.
earned some 100000 in concert
tours and royalties from records
all because she made The Met
An engagement carries with it a
concert prestige that is worth many
times the salary that goes with the
opera engagement.
Which brings up the thought that
what America pays for is not neces-
full voices.
An enga cement In the Follies is
almost equivalent to a rich husband
or even title. But an engagement
in the Metropolitan means that the
singer doesn't need a rich husband
The life of the musical comedy star
is short, at best, for the tired bust
ness man likes new faces-and likes
them young. He is more critical OF
ankles than of arias.
No Weight Worries
Although the years crop of sing.
ers is very easy to look at. tho
grand opera singer is allowed con.
siderable latitude in the matter o.
beauty. A comfortabl ye robust fig
'ure is almost taken as matter o!
course. since so many OF the fines
singers have been In the heavy
weight class.
Taking on 10 pounds does no
jeopardize the career OF an opera
singer as 1t does an actress, Thu
starvation diets and the rigorouI
exercises that the Broadway star
accept as a part of their obligation
to the public have no terrors TO-
these singers of the elect.
Age is not the arch enemy Of tn
opera singer that it is Of the choru
cutie. A good voice is rather to b.
chosen than dimpled knees and ba
by stares.
Seats At a Premium
The Metropolitan remains the on
stronghold Of the old time class.
The Butter-and- Egg Man with hi

Likewise, too. the metropolitan
