OPERA "YSOBEL' POSTPONED
Mascagni Bewildered by Action
of American Impresario.

Rome, Jan. 6.-Pietro Mascasni. composer
OF "Ysobel," which opera may or may not
be produced In New York this season, was
In q flutter to-day over the receipt OF let
ter from his American irppresario which,
he said, both astonshed and bewildered
him.
The opera was written for Miss Bessie
Abott, and was to have been produced at
The New Theatre on November Il. Inc
present correspondence has to do with the
hitch between the composer and the New
York producers which has resulted In Mas
cagni remaining in Rome.
Mascagni said that the letter received IN
the mornings mail was dated December r.
but was posted in New York on December
e. It's contents and tone surprised MIN
greatly The writer, he added. referred TO
Mascagnts 'hod-up methods and "un-
reasonable and unwarranted attitude"
The chief trouble, according to the COM
poser, seems to be In regard to the manner
Of payment for the concerts which Mas
cagni is to give in America. While the un-
derstanding Of this matter seems to be
clearly set forth in the letter. the writer
complains that he has not received the or
was ready a month ago. but according 10
his contract 1t must remain in the posses
sion only OF the representative OF the pup
Usher. scagni is this representative, and
he expected to take the work with him II
he had sailed for America, as he had
planned to do. yesterday. In any event, II
could not be used in New York unless he
was there.
AS already told, he did not sail because
Of the cablegram instructing him to await
the receipt OF to-days letter. This mes
sage. the musician said. was also contra
dictory In one place the writer said; we
are ready and willing to carry out our. oo'
legation to give 'Ysobel.' In another place
this sentence appears:
1--WE return all materials to Sonzogno
Cthe publisher) and are disbanding our. Or
ganization. We have given up the Idea OF
producing the opera"
Sigior Mascagnl tonight telegraphed the
American impresario Indignantly protest
ing against the "impolite form Of his let
ter. and the assertion that Mascagni had
violated his contract, which is untrue, as
am ready TO prove In friendly manner
II desired, or before the courts, If am
obliged TO do So"
In pointing out the contradictions In the
American impresario's letter, Mascagnis s
telegram said: Before taking any action.
please cable me as to which Of these two
remembering that II you decide to give
the opera / am ready to sail
