CAVALIER MAY SING HERE
IN CONCERT IN NOVEMBER
ChanIer May Accompany Her.

CIT Is FINISHED"

Mile Lima Cavalier, the lillian prima
donna, otherwise Nine. Robert Winthrop
Chanler, said to be the most beautiful
woman in the world and the possessor of
one of the sweetest soprano voices of the
day, may appear at the Atlanta audito-
rum next November, under the auspices
of the Atlanta Music Festival associa-
ton. 1t is not improbable that Mr..
Chanler, husband of the noted beauty,
will be among those present.
| Cavalieri is expected to return to
America from Paris within the next
week or ten days to begin her battle for
the Chanler fortune, and, incidently, to
sign contracts for her concert or operate
work during the fall and winter in this
country.
Members Of the Music Festival associ-
alton have the engagement of Cavalier
| seriously under consideration, and at the
next meeting of the board a final decis-
ion will be reached.
| Cavalieri, upon her arrival in America,
will determine definitely whether she will
/ cast her fortune with the Metropolitan
Opera company, or devote herself to con-
cert work.
WHO is CAVALIERI?
! And who is Cavalieri?
| No concert or operate star in tho firm
| ament holds half so much intere6t for
| the public today as does this Italian
beauty. Tetrazzini, Mary Garden, Ger
aldine Farrar and all the others have
| been equaled in public interest by Cav
alieri, who began life as an italian shop
girl and has forged her way to the front
and married an American millionaire-a
| lineal descendant of John Jacob Aston.
I Cavalieri is the beauty whose charms
/ have divorced Robert Winthrop Chan
Ter and his fortune. She is the same
whose contributions to the beauty col
umns of 100 newspapers have been~read
| by thousands, and whose love affair with
Chanler has set a-wagging the tongues
of thousands of gossips in all parts Of
/ two continents.
| The romance Of Cavalieri and Robert
Winthrop Chanler-Sheriff Bob, of Ouch
ess county, n. Y, great-great-grand-
/ son of John Jacob Astor-reads more
; like a novel than a story from life. 1t
| is the romance of a rich young man, who
= fell head over heels In love with a for
! eign beauty, whose charms so attracted
! him that he signed away all he had and
was content to accept a paltry allow
ance of $50 per month to win her hand
In marriage. 1t is the romance Of a rich
young man-an artist-who was literally
given "the boot in a foreign land short
I ly after he had signed away his fortune
( to win the hand OF an opera singer. 1t is
! the romance of a rich young man-and
I American-who saw his wife spurn his
1 love and bestow her affections upon a
Russian nobleman within a few short
weeks after he had gained her hand in
