Special Dispatch to Thc Tribune
CHICAGO, April 2d.--Mary Garden
Will remain with the Chicago Opera
Company as the brightest star in it's
galaxy, and no ono person will be en-
dowcd with the authority she re-
lnguished yesterday, when she re-
resigned the post of general director.
Instead of appointing q new director,
the opera company will vest authority
in a committee OF management whereon
business, musical technical and money
spending agencies will be represented,
Samuel Insult, head of the supporting
organization said to-day.
Mr.. Insult. himself, will be chairman
of the new committee, he said Mr.. In
sull made the explanatory statement in
answer to Miss Gardens resignation,
which he praised as cnaracteristically
direct and helpful,
Muratorc Discusses Change
"Mary Garden said things about me
that. had she been a man, | would have
killed to defend my honor" said Lucien
Muratore, French tenor of the Chicago
Opera Company to-day. Muratore was
discussing the reports that he had
spread vile stories about Miss Garden
But continued the tenor, "bccause
she is a lady. / can and viii do moth

Oh zc bum.
Although Miss Gardens action had
been expected momentariy for moro
than week, it finally came with the
suddcnncss and picturesquenes with
which the diva usually does things.
with this momentous step taken,
our Nary spent several hours con
fcrring with Mrs. Edith Rockefeller
Mccormick, then retired TO the scclu-
sion of her apartments in the Drake
Hotel.
Rumors that efforts arc being made
to interest Mary Garden in the pro
ductlon of 4 great American opera by
an American composer became current
to-day following visits paid Miss Gar

By Harriette Underhill

If ever a picture needed to be cen
sored the picture at the Rialto this week
needs it, 1t is called "The Bachelor
Daddy" and, as all pictures are made
with the 'lkiddies" in mind, just think
of the effect this picture is going TO
leave on the youthful audiences. Little
Cuthbert will go home and put on
mammals best, new. long, pink satin

why mamma does not laugh Unfortunately
as she did when Toodles did it in the
picture. And we can fancy him saying,
But, mother. you thought it was so cute
when the little boy did it on the screen
The people at the Rialto all seemed to
think that bad hammered, destructive
and bold children are the funniest things
on earth, while we looked on without
even the gljmmer Of q smile. OF course,
there is one thing TO be thankful for,
no children ever do act like that, espe-
cially country-bred children in new sur
roundings The whole story is very
silly and is built on false premises. such
as the folowing All bachelors are

Philip blanchard. having murdered

Philip was so thoughtless concerning

by the village belle, the shopkeeper's
pretty daughter. He was Of the kind
that stampedes the maidens, gusty
lover, expert at fiery speeches and ges-
lures. His meek opponent, Elias, the
dead miser, stood no chance because,
as he described it, his was a twilight

What, then, do you think care-free

to smile and smile and let his friend
