NINE. JERITZA TO SUCCEED
FARRAR IN METROPOLITAN
Four.Year Contract Signed With
Vlennese Prima Donna

New York, Jan. 19.-Maria JCrit2a.
Nicnncse soprano, whose Interpretation
of La Tosca has won widespread ap-
rroval has signed a fouryear contract
with the Metropolitan Orera COMPANY.
1t was announced last night BY Director
Giulio Gatti Casazza.
The announcement followed twenty
four hours after the America primo
donna, Geraldine Fnrrar. refused to
sign a contract for next year.
In operatiC circles the signing Of the
contract with Jeritza is looked upon as
Gatti- Casazza answer TO Farrar. who
yesterday indicated that she would de-
vote year or more TO concert work,
The appearance of Miss Jeritza ana
her immediate conquest Of her audience
in LA Tosca" are thought to have
been one Of the reasons why Miss
Farrar decided 10 stay out of opera for
at least one season. The success Of the
Vienncsc singer, who Is possessed W
great personal charm and beauty, and
whose acting is vivacious and appeal
ing TO all who have seen her, was the
greatest in many years.
Miss Jeritza's new contract calls for
four full seasons of fifty performances
year, and will, it is said, be renewed,
so she will actually take the place Of
Miss Farrar. whose contract, as offered
to her by Gatti- Casa2za for next sea
son. called for only three months, or
hulf the season.

MURATORE BREAKS
WITH MARY GARDEN
Can't Get Along With Her, He
Says, Resigning From Chi
cago Opera
DIRECTOR REPLIES SHARPLY

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Lucien Muratorc
and his wife. Lima Cavalieri, have
bumped their own temperamental
equipment against the Mary Garden
variety. with the result that they are
out of the Chicago Opera Company and
are leaving for New York today.
For Miss Garden as an artist |
have the highest, the greatest admira-
tion," NJ. Muratore stated. "I am
pleased to sing with her because she is
a great artist. But as director Of the
company in which I am to sinG-no, no.
no. I like Mary Garden, but''--and
here was the shrug-'1 cannot work
under her direction. One thing is, 7
don't Ike the way she has spoken to
me. Miss Garden Is too Capricious
One day she is nice and the next she
will not even say Good Morning. "
He intimated that there were "too
many stars and not enough roles for
them
This is the end :" exclaimed Mary
Garden, when she had learned Of Mu.
ratorc's denunciation Of her. "Tt is
the last straw. It marks the cnd Of
foreign domination in tho Chicago
opera. From now on Americans, and
not foreigners, will be given the pref.
erence."
Later she issued a formal statement:
Foreign diCtation is thing Of the
past. We are to have little American
dictatlon for a while and see how It
will work out. II is great pity TO
see an artist of the value Of Monsieur
Muratore 50 badly Counscled.
MARY GARDEN.
The real reason for Murutorc's do.
Cision TO part company with Miss Car
den. however, Is believed TO lie in the
attitude OF the director general toward
Nine. Cavalier, who was to have
made her debut with the Chicago
organization on the second evening Of
the season. For some as yet uncX-
planned reason the performance was
Cancelled and her appearance has since
been repeatedly postponed.
Nine. Cavalicri yesterday, IN reply
to questions as to why she had not
sung, shrugged her shoulders and
munched q doughnut.
Il have a cold this year she add
ed "the weather here is not like that
of Italy. My husband. Muratorc, can
sing and I can eat doughnuts.
While Miss Garden never has given
her version of the affair, it has been
current gossip around the auditorium
that she decided Mime. Cavalieri was
unequal to the role assigned her.
No new contracts for next season
have been offered to Murutore or his
wife because of the breach.

in the Missouri Republican of st. Louis, offer
ing employment to one hundred young men in Rocky
Mountain fur region trappers and hunters, caught
the eye of youth of eighteen years. His
James Bridger, a blacksmiths apprentice, and when
he applied to Andrew Henry and William Ashley
leaders of fur trading enterprise in the far
west, for place with their expedition and was ac-
cepted, he began career that to make him IA
nous as the greatest frontersman and guide in the
western country, diScOverer of the Great Salt Lake
and one of the immortas among American trail
blazers.
Ashley and Henry were two shrewd frontier busi-
ness men, who saw that the western fur trade, which
had suffered greatly from the effects of the war of
1912 and because of disturbed conditions in Europe
was about to experience revival, and when tn
made plans for their expedition to the mountains i'm
1922 they assembled under their leadership entirely
by chance of the significant groups of ex-
plorerS ever brought together on the continent
whose discoveries during the next half dozen years

and Clark. Of this group Bridger to become the
bright particular star. Unfortunately he had as q
youth little schooling and left no written record of
is known of his life and achievements than Of any OF
the famous frOntieTSmen Of the old west.
Bridger was a native Of Richmond Virginia
where he was born March Il. 1904 His father was
a tavern keeper until 1872 when the family removed
to St Louis During the formative years of his boy
hood he lived in the cOlOTful atmosphere Of the From
