ACTRESS WAS RELEASED.
Matches tier ol,stinacy against Per-
vereify Of Manners

Gustav Kobbe relates IN the Woman -
Home Companioi! how an 4tnipr.tan act
ress--i.mnaa flames had her own way
with certain Parisian managers. Says
MIR. Kohbe: Returning to Paris, She ut
last closed an engagement with the
Cornique. She was to sing '.Traviata,"
but after she had prepared for her debut
she was told that she could not be allowed
to make her first appearance in such an
important role. Then she studied Bizet's
Les Pecheurs DIES Perles.' But She was
told, I'VE cannot trust this in the hands
of debutantc.' She was at sea until
she learned that a French composer was
using his influence with the directors to
prevent her debut and in favor of another
singer.
In the midst of this distressing situa-
ton she received an offer from the opera
What should she do? Here was an offer
that would at once start her on her ca
1eer. Yet she was bound by contract 10
Paravey of the Co1iliaue. She asked him
for a release, but the singer for whom
intrigue had secured a debut had utterly
failed, and the young American was told
that now she was to have her chance.
The opening of the exposition was ap-
preaching, and the manager thought that
having the only American singer would
be q feather in his cap. She insisted that
she wished to be released He was obd,-
rate. Finally, at a meeting of The drec-
tors, she walked into the cabinet and said:
Now j want to know if you will let me
off,
I'VE are paying you for not singing

Il am not going to leave this room un-
til you have sent for my contract and
torn it up before my eyes
This. is not the time. Come back to-
morrow
II am not coming back, for 1 am not
going until you have done what I've asked
you to do"
AS result of hon stand-Amcrican pluck
versus French perversity-her contract
was sent for and torn UP in the directors
meeting. The next morning Paravey read
the announcement that she was engaged
for the opera, and he was furious.
