  "On November 26, 1908, he made his debut with the Metropolitan Opera as Titurel in Richard Wagner's Parsifal. He remained with the company until his retirement from singing in 1914, at which point he chose to concentrate on teaching. Witherspoon made many recordings for the Victor Talking Machine Company between 1907 and 1917."

  ɹǝqɯoɔɥɔɐǝq That is an impressive height for back then. And it looks as if she was wildly popular! Surprised that Pathé don't know where that was...
