Due to her encouragement and the
great success of these perfor-

attention to a musical career. Re
turning to his native Philadelphia,
he began his studies at the AGA
deny of Vocal Arts there. It was
not long before he made his pro-
fessional debut as tenor soloiSt
In RoSsini's ''Stabat Mater" with
the Allentown tPa.) symphony.
Concerts in Philadelphia followed
and for a time he had his own
radio program there. For two sum-
mers he studied and sang at
Tanglewood during the Berkshire
Music Festival and in the summer
OF 1919, made a tour of Central
America giving performances in
opera and also appeared in recital
and concert in Mexico City.

discovered him in Chicago, had
him sing with them there and.
soon after, he made his debut at
the New York City Center. His
appearance as Des Grieux in Mas

In the summer of 1851 when his
participation In the Edinburgh
