HENRY RUSSELL MAY UNITE;
WITH GATTI.CASAZZA HERE
Strong Indications Of an Asso-
citation in operate
Management.
SCORED SUCCESS IN PARIS
RumOrs Also That Felix Vein
gartner Will Come to
Conduct.

Reports from Germany that Felix
Weingartner, the great Viennese con-
ductor, lately conductor of the Boston
polltan opera House were taken yester-
day by some close observers OF music In
New York to bear out n persistent and
well defined rumor that Henry Russell.
manager OF the Boston Opera, will be
Giulio Gatti-Casazza's associate in the
man agement of the Metropolitan Opera
Company.
Whether Mr.. Russell and Mr.. Gatti-
Casazza would form reciprocal dual
management for New York and Boston
or would cooperate by exchanges of
singers and handling OF new works was
matter OF some speculation. There seemed
to be well founded Indications that Mr..
Russell would come TO New York year
hence to share actively In the manage
ment Of the Metropolitan.
Arturo Toscanini. considered by many
the greatest operate conductor in the
world. has said that he will not stay in
New York after his present contract with
the Metropolitan expires. He has not
liked the way things have gone at the
Metropolitan recently. II is said that he
was strongly opposed 10 the production
OF one OF last seasons novelties, Char
pentier's Julien" In which Caruso and
Farrar sang. Mr.. Gatti-Casazza dis
agreed with him and Julien was sung.
GIorgio Polacco. however. was the con-
ductor and added considerably to his ar
tistic reputation by his mastery OF Char
pentier's dream story and sequel to
Louise"
