Upon her return to New York after
that performance. she sued the opera
company for $50, ,000--but the suit went
by default. She named Adolfo Bracale
and Anthony Bagarozy. representatives
of the Havana Opera Company, and
charged she did not have sufficient time
in which to rehearse; that she was forced
to sing against her will" that she
met with threats Of personal violence,
and that, her colleagues were under
standard. .
1t was alleged further that Jewels
valued at $4,000 were taken from her.
and returned only when she gave
I,racale S4OO0. The charges were de.
MED absolutely by the defendants, who
offered a legal paper. IN English and
Italian. which they said she had signed
shortly after her debut. This paper

it should be, was the explanation. Some
say the leading singers and conductor
struck and refused to work with her
because she could not sing. Whatever
the trouble, the great debut never oc.

Then came the reports Of troubles
between the singer and he rhusband,
charges and counter. charges, and even
tually suit for divorce. During the
course Of this proceeding Cochran,
branded by Nine. Walska's lawyers as
"a male vamp-a man who tires Of
