discords which the 1920-I921 season Of the
Chicago Opera Company produced One
OF the most interesting OF the suits in

Stormy as the last season Of the Chi

promises to be even stormier. Not only
is there the prospect that Gamma Walska
will undertake to resume. her career"
which was so dramatically interrupted In
Chicago a year ago, but II is also already
assured that Lima Cavalieri, the beautiful
Italian prima donna and wife OF Lucien
Muratore. is to rejoin the company after
an absence OF many years.
Cavalieris return to the stage marks
the end. for a time at least, of one Of the
bitterest auarrels in grand opera history.
The feud began when the late Oscar Ham,
merstein assigned to Nine. Cavalieri role
which Mary Garden had been singing. Miss
Garden was so incensed. It is said, by what
she considered this cruel injustice to her
that she stormed out OF the opera house
where she was advertised to sihg that very
night and disappeared for three weeks.

ance for applause. They charged that an
assistant stage manager was the head OF
system which arranged for "ovations"
on a cash.in.advanee basis!
Just what endless chickering's, what
heart.burning hatreds the operation OF
such a~sordid system would cause among
artists as jealous Of one another as opera
singers are can readily be imagined.
An alleged example OF the lengths to
which prims donna. will go in order to
have her temperamental way and crafty
her jealousy OF her rivals was furnished,
It has been said, by Mary Garden In New
York last Winter. The company's expected
profit Of s25o,0O0 was turned into 100000
loss largely, according to reports. through
Miss Gardens insistence on showing Bonci
and Raisa into the background and putting
herself and Muratore in their places.
She is said to have walked into the box
Office Of the Manhattan Opera House one
day and found that every seat for matinee
at which Bonci had been advertised to
sing was sold.
what" Miss Garden is reported to have
cried. "Bonci to have triumph? Refund
the money for this matinee and announce
another singer"
This was done and, whether as result
or not, the performance showed so II was
reported. loss of exactly S10,500.

States are also busy trying TO get some
degree OF harmony out OF the countless

The Washington times., 1921-10-23

again II Cavaleri were allowed to retain
the disputed role. The impresario, reluct-
antly forced to choose between Mary Gar
den and the beautiful Italian singer decid.
ed in favor of the former and Cavalieri
was sent into retirement.
Since then the two prima donnas have
not cared much for each other. II is said
Within the past few months, however.
reconciliation has been effected through
the tactful efforts of Muratore, who has for
several seasons been one Of the Chicago
Opera Company's mainstays. The rival
stars have kissed and made up and Miss
Garden has magnanimously given Lima
Cavalieri place In the company.
But how long will these two tempera.
mental and ambitious rivals be able to
sing together without clashing even more
seriously than they did before? And what
may be expected TO happen II Gamma
walska is injected into this already suffi.
ciently perfous situation?
or course, there is always the possibility
that II Gamma Walska, with the backing OF
Harold F. Mccormick, does succeed in get
ting a place in the company again, Mary
= Garden will decide to forgive and forget
and give her a chance at her long delayed
career" The reconciliation which has
taken place with Cavalieri is a proof that
such miracles can happen.
And now for last crowning touch comes
a letter to Mary Garden threatening to "Ku
Klux" her opera pets for reason no one
would have uspected-because their table
manners and conversation are said to be
SO obnoxious to the other guests OF
Chicagos fashionable Auditorium Hotel.
The Washington times., 1921-10-23
Mrs. Harold F. Mccormick, Who
Has Separated from n er Husband,
the Financial Angel Of the :
Opera Company.

The letter urges Miss Garden to engage
someone TO instruct the singers in proper
manners or else TO find other quarters
for them.
"If you do not do something to relieve
us Of this unspeakable nuisance, we regular
guests Of the Auditorium will don our bed
sheets and pillow-cases and 'Ku Klux' every
perfumed opera singer we find around the
place some fine day early next season"
What will be the next tempest to break
over the always storm.troubled operate
seas?
