This year Miss Garden said she did not know what my contract called for, but she wanted to sign the new one, She sald it would be an honor to do so, 1 said IT would rather that Mr. Spangler signed it. ‘He is a man ara you are @ woman and my colleague,’ I said to her. ‘Do not consider me as a SHOVED DIRECTOR Woman, but as a manager,’ sald she. ‘How much do yon want? I told her $2,800, and s id all right, and added, ‘No price !s too much to pay for you.’ = “As soon as T learn defnitely whether Miss Mary Garden will or will not be Director General of the Chicago Opera Company next season, then will I determine what contracts Muratore Declares Opera Man- ager Used Force on Polacco —Trustees Sustain Her.

Her reply was that others did not know them. 1 told her they should know them, that I would jot be with the company always and that some one would have to sing them, “After ‘Samson’ had been sua twice Miss Garden asked me to g'vc up this role.

It je a pity to see an ertist of the value of Monsieur Mura tore so badly counseled."’ “I am my own counsellor in busi- ness,” commented “Muratore. “Why hag Marjorie Maxwell, engaged for forty appearances, only been per- mitted two? Why have Edward Johnson or Riccardo Martin or George Marshall, all great American tenors, not sung? Because the com- pany is filled with foreign stars. America is filled with great home- born opera singers out of work, but Muratore insisted that Lina Cava-| Miss Garden does her hiring in Eu- Neri is not in any way ‘involved in the | pope, affair that has caused so much storm. | + She has been idle, he said, for the very good reason that her doctors forbade her singing. : Muratore showed his contracts, ‘which called for $2,800 a performance, Other singers of the company have Rot $8,000 as reported, indorsed Miss Garden, saying that Giorgio Polacco, chief conductor, and his wife, Edith Mason, lyric soprano, are ready to withdraw when their contracts expire. According to Lucien Muratore, Polacco was a tar- get for the caressing hand of Miss Garden, only it was not a fondling touch, “She seized him by both shoulders and rushed him out of her office,” said the tenor. The incident developed over the presentation of “‘Pelleas and Meli- wande” Monday might. This is one of Miss Garden's great roles, After the performance she called the con- ductor and told him his work was the “worst she had ever witnessed.” Muratore continued: ‘Polacco re- piled, ‘When Pelleas was first pro-| pe duced this year you sald it was the Best you ever heard.’ Then Miss age 9 took him by both shoulders and shoved him out.” Only three of the trustees, John J. Mitchell, John G. Shedd and Samuel Insull appeared at the trustecs’ meet- ing and they had an informal confer- ence. They admitted going into the Muratore matter. The only word given out was that Mary Garden ‘would remain as boss of the singers. Muratore ieft yesterday for New York. me day she kisses, another day @ kicks. One day she says ‘so and * is another Caruso, another day she tells the rest of the company that he has a wooden voice.” Among those voicing approval were | Amelita Galll-Curel, Tito Sehipa, | Rosa Raisa, Virgilio Lagzart, Octave | Dua, Ludovico Oliviera, Desire De- | frere and others. Row Will Be “Patched Up” Is Opinion of Mr. Dewey Ar the office of Rufus Dewey of tho Chicago Opera Company Mr. Dewey said to-day that the Chicagy row was not as serious as the first an- nouncements had seemed to make it. He ¢9id that Muratore will sing with the company during the New York Feason; he will open newt Monday as scheduled in "Simson and Delflah’— 1 he will sing with the company for the remainder of the season, as he is under contract." Mr. Dewey ts of the opinion that the quarrel would un- doubtedly be patched up. - ‘ \JERITZA CONTRACT EXTENDED 4 YEARS Viennese Soprano Engaged for Long Term at Metropolitan—.More German Opera, * Rumors of Metropolitan changes were set at rest to-day by a stato- ment from General Manager Gatti- Casazza in which te formally an- nounces that Maria Jeritza, Viennese soprano, has been re-engaged for four years more, Expressing his ad- miration for Getaldine Farrar, he states that she {s| not to sing with the Metropolitan next season, hut he thopes she will return the seasun xf- ter next.

HOUSE AFTERLONG SCE Kelly Sells Lease of Once! Noted Gaming Place Police Haunted Four Years. After a four-year police siege, “Honest John” Kelly has gold the lease of his five-story “town house” adjoining the Hotel Claridge in West 44th Street. A large sign anhounces: “The Active Republican Club, after alterations, will occupy these prem- Ises.” The once noted gaming palace has had a uniformed po!iceman on duty every hour almost since Commis- sioner Enright took office four years @go. Sometimes lurking near was a detective watching the policeman. Often two or more policemen were on duty if It was good gambling weather. Chief Inspector Lahey declined to THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1922, though he admitted he had run gam- ing palaces from time to time at fash- jonable water places, the last a year ago on the island of Bimini in the Bahamas. During the spectacular ralds by former District Attorney Jerome, “Honest John” Kelly promised to close and stay closed. This promise was accepted by Mr. Jerome because of the reputation of Mr. Kelly, When the pollee were criticised for wasting men on Kelly's place, the defense was that a policeman was needed on post there anyway. —— BOYS KILL OWN GAME WATCHING MOTOR CARS Freeport Revives Onrfew Law to Keep Them Of Streets, . With the arrest tast nlght of four youngsters who were “watehing” au- tomobiles parked outside the Freeport, L. 1, Auditorfum, the police have started a vigorous enforcement of the Curfew Law which prohibits ehfldren under fourteen years old from being on the streets after 9 o'clock at night. The ordinance, adopted in May, 1918, has been a dead letter through recent Administrations, Chief of Police John N. Hartmann, however, has announced that his officers will enforce it strictly from now on. The step was taken largely because of the number of small boys who night- comment on “Honest John's” capitu-|iy seck employment “watching auto- lation. “Honest John,” a gray-haired | mobiles man of military beasing, who visited Sa eT the ath Street house yesterday as a|OLD CRUISER DRIFTS vorkman began renovatin; = “I had the lease for mavens ves ONTO AFRICAN SHORE longer, but I decided to give it up. ———— The police thought I was looking for Tog Her Sinke—All On A chance to open a wheel, I gucas.

In the letter the Mayor recites his efforts to obtain such legislation.
