wealthy prima donna" who was to
ing role OF Zaza. Cochran spent
today to flood of conflicting ru-
mors.
Announcement was made by Of

the postponement was due to ina
billty OF the company to do the
vast amount of preparatory work
necessary to the successful pro-
duction of the opera. II was said
that Madame Walska had gone to
New York for the holidays.
Madame Walska Is the wife OF

York, whose, reputed fortune OF
100000 caused him to be
known as the worlds richest
bachelor" 1t has been declared
Cochran objected to the prima
donna appearing in the rather dar-
3ag role of Zaza. Cochran spent
several days in Chicago but re-
turned to New York before
the, singer did.
Madame Walska Is reported to
have said IF my husband should
object to my singing-well, not
Tor long would he be my hus-
band"
