The abrupt announcement of the
cancelling of Nordica's contract with
Mr.. Lee Wilson. has not been followed
with any explanations. Mr.. Wilson
claims to have regular signed con-
tract with the great Drima donna, in
which event he will be apt to make it
extremely interesting for her; he has
been put to heavy expense in every
city where he had billed her, and
nearly everywhere the arrangements
had gone as far as they had in this
city, where the choir had the pro-
gramme in rehearsal, and in Denver,
where the advance sale had already
been opened with receipts of over $1,000
will furnish excellent material for a
damage suit. AS far as the public is
it will probably make but
little difference, as Nordica will no
doubt appear here later, under her
new management, but it is a matter of
regret that Mr.. Wilson. who is classed
almost as a Salt Laker, should not
have had finger in the resulting pro-
fits.
