OPERA SINGERS
STRIKE POLICE
QUELL AUDIENCE
Lively Mix-Up in Empire Theatre
When Money Dispute Stops
Production.

Because not enough one was forth
coming from the manager of the thea
tire, the Italian Opera Company struck
at the end of the first act of "Rigo-
letto,' at the Empire Theatre, and there
will be no more Italian opera in this
city this week.
For a time, after the warblers had re-
fused last night to go on the boards
again, it looked as if there would be
serious trouble, and the reserves had to
be called out from the First Precinct
police station to quiet the audience
clamoring at the box office for their
money. The police got the play-goers
into line and checks were issued en-
titling holders to the return of their
money this morning.
The trouble was caused by the failure
of the ana of the theatre to come
to an agreement with Manager Di
Franchi, of the company. The theatre
management claims thai the agree
ment called for a certain sum to be
paid to meet his expenses before any
thing was to be turned over to the COM
pany. It was said that after S619 had
been paid to Di Franchi he asked for
$3.50 more, which was refused. Then he
