CHICAGO April 2I.-They're
singing those Amarillo blues here
now because That's and temperament
have gotten Mary Garden famed
diva and star of the Chicago Civic
Opera company all messed up in an
artistic cyclone that has blown first
hot and then cold all the way from
Amarillo, Texas.
That's the home of Gene howe,
doughty editor and self-acknowl-
edged critic, SO Mary calls him, Of
everything ranging from Charlie
Lindbergh at whom Howe took a
couple of cracks not so long ago, to
alleged missing scores from the
! opera That's which showed on tour
IN Amarillo with Mary in the lead
ing role.
Said Editor Howe, welding his
pointed pen: This lady called
Mary is a lot of applesauce. She's
so old she totters. Likewise, they
cut That's when they gave 1t in
dear old Amarillo. What do they
think we are? A lot of hicks.
Resented Deletion
OF course Editor Howe, didn't
put it in just those words, or In
Just that way. But he did say that
| Mary was so old she almost tottered
from the stage, and he did imply
that the Chicago troupers thought
they could delete an opera and get
away with it just because they
were in the so-called sticks.
1t was a terrific jolt, and Mary
took it on the chin foresquare al
though it is quite the first time she
has ever thus been publicly as
sailed. In her home adopted city of
Chicago she rules the rooSt, and
there's no mistaking that. The
local papers all label her "Our
Mary" And she's not only famous
but almost a Chicago institution.
To speak i'll Of her here would be
nothing short of lese majesty.
yes, I know he's read a book"
never WINGED, and came back at
Editor Howe with a couple Of right
jabs of her W make.
Eyes, l know he's head a book"
said Mary. But, Oh, dear me, if
he thinks I am old, how is he to be
wandering about with DYSPEPSIA at
his age?
I'VE cut the opera, of course we
did. We took out one long, dreadful
scene from the third act that hasn't
been shown in 20 years in this
country. It's q scene that runs II
minutes and is a repetition Of
themes in the first act. Even the
composer, Massenet, agreed long
ago that the cut should be made"
Stirs Chicago Critics
But the Texas storm, now blow
ing ~fiercely, has given a certain fac
ton opposed to Mary opportunity
here to try ousting her from the
opera company. 1t is said.
This group has always been Jeal-
Gus of her, and has attempted to
use the Amarillo incident to prove
that Mary's power over her public
is waning.
The diva's friends, however, have
come loudly to her support.
"Old? Why, she is not old. She
is at the height Of her career they
say. 1.-THE public still Is as mac
about her as ever"
But there is the Amarillo Incl
dent. Amarillo guarantors Of the
operas appearance in the Texas
town held up payment of 1900 for
a time following the tip-off by
Editor Howe that they hadn't been
| given their moneys worth. They
since have agreed to make UP the
deficit.
