MARY GARDEN IS A
STRENUOUS BOSS
United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Mary Garden
sang her season farewell to Chicago
opera patrons today without the di-
rectlon Of her chief conductor, Giorgio
Polacco
Polacco caused the second break in
the Chicago Opera Company's ranks
within week when he refused to
wicld the baton for the directress.
Lucien Muratore, world famous tenor,
deserted the company early in the
week.
According to reports, during the re-
hearsal Of Louise" the days produc-
ton, Polacco tossed the score into
Miss Gardens lap, shouting Lead
your own orchcstra-You don't sing
with me-"
A long quarrel followed, with Po-
lacco declaring in Italian that he
wouldn't" and the directrcss telling
him in English that he couldn't any
way"
Dcsertion by Polacco Of the opera
was said to have followed the Monday
night performance, when Miss Garden
became so enraged at his conducting
Of "Pelleas and Melisande" that she
pummeled the Italian Maestro with
her fists and ordered him to get out
quick.

ROMANCE OF STRING
OF PEARLS
United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-A strange
tale of romance, plottings, assassin
ations and revolutions lies behind the
litigation over a string of pearls
worth $1,000,000 in the New York
courts today.
Mrs. Horace E. Dodge, widow Of the
wealthy Detroit automobile manufac-
turer, is said to be present owner of
the gems, which were originally in
possession of Empress Catherine II
of Russia.
The jewels have bloody history.
Their royal owners were involved in
intrigue and tragedy from generation
to generation. Finally came the rev.
olution, the massacre of the Cars
family. The pearls then were put on
the market. Horace E. Dodge pur-
chased them, it is reported, from the
Paris house of Benguist Bros. and the
American house of Cartier. Shortly
afterward he died.
Benguist is now suing Cartier for
a share of the purchase price, $780,
900, after the sale. The defense is
that the jewels did not bring s1,50O,-
900.
The pearls are believed to have been
worn by Mrs. Dodge when she was
in New York recently. Many persons
noticed the beautiful necklace, which
was one Of the most magnificent ever
seen here.
