\ TREAT OF JA INDUCED CALV TO SING IN CUBA Great Diva Didn’t Feel Like It, but There’s a Queer Law in Havana, EXCUSES AREN’T VALID. Ordeal of Steering Prima Donna Too Much for Manager, Mme. Emma Calve and her manager, John Cort, have had differences, and now the famous nger is ‘'p' .* On Feb, 5 concert in Hayana, eac thelr contr adding her own canoe » after her third agreed to sever (. Shortly thereafter B. V. Giroux, Mr. Cort's representative, who gecompanied the prima donna, bade Calve a cheerful ad{eu and returned to the quieter atmosphere of his, offices in the Knickerbocker Building. Mr. Gl- roux’s nerves are still Ina halr trigger state, and the sound of a woman's voice Pitched above the conversational tone causes jilm to start in alarm, “As far as 1 know—I mean that my best information 4s," said Mr, Giroux to-day, hat Ci is stopping In St. Augustine, at the Hotel Alcazar, and that she will give a concert there on} March 1. | “No,” continued Mr. Giroux, with a sigh of relief which filled the room, “we have nothing more to do with Mme, Calve. Our contract with her terminated Feb. 1. You ask how it happened? Well, it just terminated on that date stopped, or w might be ple . VAny ‘ou should know that great singers are s trouble some; an anager will tell you that, How? they don’t want to sing when everybody else wants them to, and | when the manager's contract with th theatre requires that y should, But what do prima donnas ca: about con- tracts?" xpired, other word one John Cort had managed Calve for three years. The present concert tour, when arranged, included the Havana appearar Mme. Culve did not seem to be particularly interested in the Cuban engagement and pleaded indls- position. Then came on a series of con- ferences between Giroux, which ma ter's nerve fatigue. There is a law in Havana that is in some resp r and, to: Mmo. Calve, singularly unpleasant and “un- was created to pre- ndiaries from burning down theatres and other places it when, in fits of great their’ hot blood became the singer and Mr, account for the lat- opera-hou of amusem: disappointment, hotter, Jail for Disappointing. This law says that should a manager advertise any artist to appear at a Place of amusement on a certain day or night, and the artist fall to appear and thereby disappoint the audience, the manager and the artist may both be Placed under arrest and lodged In jail They got Mme. Calve over to Ha- vana, and there the real trouble arose. She didn’t want to sing; she wanted go back to the States at once, She shut herself up and .cfused to see any- body. She had Achilles in his tent na mile. the great Calve could be mduced to read ft with understanding she surrendered, but under protest—under the most vio- lent and unremitting protest It was gaid to be the most nerve-racking ex- perience that ever a timid manager un- derment. The audtences that nothing atsout all this, heard her knew Not in years had the great Calve sur ice, She captured them all, of | the three concerts the results were gratifying Byt Mr. Giroux came north at once, and now Mme, Calve Is her o S n manat ger and wil! sing when she likes. > LADY CONSTANCE « DANCE T-MORRDH A Widely Announced Secret | That Barefoot Classic / — Will Be at Sherry’s This is a great secret, And It won't do you the least bit of good to know it unless you belong to the Really Trulys. And have got $ loose on your person. And they do say tit this combination Is hard to find up and, down Fifth ave- nue and the side streets nowadays Maybe that's why this Is such a great secret. It's easler to separate one from a Five if one thinks that there is a general alr} of police mystery about a show, Besides, it's going to be at Sherry’s and once, long, long ago there was a police) mystery at Sherry’s that came true, with Capt. Chapman and one “'Little| Egypt” in the limelight. Maybe that’s why when an Evening World reporter went to Sherry's to-day they looked scared to death and sald: Hg'g'atah! Please xo "way. The secret is that Lady Constance Mackenzie 1s going to give one of her barefoot dances In the big ballroom at Sherry'’s at 6 o'clock to-morrow after- noon. Only persons who know persons who are really the right sort of persons are to be allowed to buy tlekets, and the roceeds are to be divided between the fllk Fund of the Society for the Im- Provément of the Condition of the Poor and Lady Constance’s School Fund for Poor Children in Scotland. ee aS CHANGES HIS NAME. Supreme Court Justice Platzek has granted permission to Adalbert Mar- schalek to change his name to that of Albert Robert Marshall, In his petition, filed by his counsel, Sidney J. Cohen, he says he f thirty-two years old, and lives at East Eighty-sixth street. | Since coming to this country in Octo- ber, 182, Marachalek nas b Hepedtce under the name of Mars! child has been baptized under that name. » law was looked up, and when | Mrs. Julian P.

I have never been Up !n an aeroplane, however, and don’t think I would care to do so, I regard It as en- Urely too dangerous, “Many people have the Idea that you cannot travel a specified route in a bal- loon, Last year, when we sald that we would make the trip from Philadelphia to New York, we were laughed at, yet | we did It without any trouble, leaving | Jadelphia at 11 o'clock A, M. and nding in the Bronx about 5.” thing depends on your knowl- edge of air currents," Dr, Thomas inter- ‘rupted.

Con- | densed molature, in tiny drops, was on the faces of the passengers. “While we were in this cloud I thought from the rushing sound beneath us that we were over water, but when we emerged suddenly from the cloud |} the sun was shining brightly on the peak of a high mountain, which the bal- loon barely grazed. We landed in Con- | necticut in a large forest. We had no more ballast, and the balloon bumped helter-skelter over the tree tops. Every time we bumped we would rise several feet in the alr. A Gallop Over the Trees. “It was like a very mad gallop over the trees, Luckily for us, the anchor- rope caught in one of the branches. The basket turned half over as we hit the ground, and we had to crawl out from | beneath it. “After my frst experience Dr. Thomas couldn't have kept me out of a@ balloon if he had wanted to. | most is the wonderful beauty of the icenery and for taking snapshots of it as we go along. | “The only time I felt really brave was last week, when I let my ten-year-old gon go up at North Adams. Of course I have the greatest confidence tn Dr. Thomas, but I'}l admit I & Iittle worrled about Odin. But, as things happened, the little fellow was a pas- senger on a record trip, as they made 175 miles." ¢ “Have you ever been in a mutiny on an airship?" I asked, Mutiny on an Airship. ‘0, but Dr. Thomas has," replied his wife. Dr. Thomas was loath to tell of this adventure. “I don't want to criticise the fellows who were with me,” he sald. “I won't tell you where the ascension was made, but it was very recent. I had some | green people with me, and I was foolish jenough to explain my machinery to them. After we had gone more than | 150 miles I wanted to know exactly | where we were, so I started to send the | balloon down until we were within hall- | ing distance of a man of whom I could make the inquiry, “The man In this case turned out to be a woman, but before we got to her What I care for.
