Husbands Hinder Careers Says Diva Rose Ponselle

New York August 22 Rose Ponselle Metropolitan opera diva of 260 Riverside drive says husbands are a drawback to career success. Her sister Carmela, recently married and divorced from Dr Henry Giomorini of New Haven, left Meriden to persevere. Carmela’s six month harmonious abed lie ended when poverty pressed, prompting both sisters to work to keep the home. Carmela struggled four years, living in hall bedrooms and singing cabarets while her husband argued that women should not have careers. Carmela launched Rosa on a grand operatic path and Carmela herself seeks fame, agreeing with Rosa that married women should not block a career. Rosa, unmarried, supports the view. Carmela’s divorce was not temperamental but born of duty and need. Carmela advised young women to ensure a husband is in harmony with their career before marriage, and to place the career first if a conflict arises. Rosa would not comment further, saying Carmela is more competent to speak.
