.G|ANN|N| CONCERT WILL NOT BE HELD
Musical Club Cancels Appear
 ance of Opera Singer Here

Directors of inc New Britain Mu- sical club today telegraphcd a can collation of the scheduled concert by Dusolina Giannin, opera star. in this city February 2S. Cancellation resulted from the fact that the clubs finances did not permit 1t to risk another artists concert this year. The directors came 10 the conclusion with reluctance and only after every possible angle of the situation was thoroughly discussed.
 1t is expected that the cancellation will be accepted by the New York management of the opera star, es- pecially after LMrs. Emile Andzula- 4 ifs was delegated last week to visit the management and explain the sit uation. IL was after hearing her re- port that the directors finally decid- ed to cancel the concert. The cancellation came at time when Miss Giannini received more tnleghraphic publicity in this city than any opera singer has received for a long time, more than half a column being printed in The Herald i Saturday in the form of an Associat- cd Press dispatch from New York, which detailed how this American singer had completed contracts 10 sing in German opera.
 There was no doubt in the minds of the directors that Miss Giaunini is singer of the first rank. and only q week ago had created sensation in Brockton. But 1t was felt the club could take no more chances whatever this year, having lost or, the Martnelli concert and made very little on the Meyer and Pattison con- cert.
 The club will concentrate the re. mainder of the season on its own af- fairs, which are more extensive than ever before.
