The Mysterious Walska.

The public generally believes that
rivalry between Nine. walska and
Garden led to the humiliation Of the
one and the triumph of the other.
There is no foundation for such
belief, as is herewith disclosed.
Each. however, in her own way, con-
tributed to the failure Of the Chicago
operas last season.
What follows is an arresting narra-
tive of events little known outside
of high operate circles.
Nine. Walska arrived in Nav
York in 1915. Mystery shrouded
her past. A string Of pearls, worth
five figures. was her principal POS
session.
After living from hand to mouth
for some months, she obtained an
engagement to appear in a light
operetta on the Century Theater
Roof.
During this engagement she at.
tracted the attention Of an interna-
tional banker, known as a patron of
the arts. Her operetta failed and
she began to be seen in musical cir.
cles. Something happened. Her
marriage to DIR. Joseph Fraenkel
shortly surprised those on the fringe
Of the operate group.
Then came her unfortunate ap-
pearance In Havana, which cost her
$4,000 to settle with her manager.
Later she gave 5: 500 to appear in
three concerts Of a series given at
a well.known hotel. A few months

the strings Of the management will
in reality be in the hands Of Mrs.

Mrs. McCormick's plans were I'M

In America.
