Mary Garden Is to resign' from the
Chicago Grand Opera -company- -and
withdraw from the grand opera a
next season to go into the concert f lei
so it is rumored from New York. H
manager. Charles L. Wagner, while not
confirming the rumor, admits the prob
ability of her taking this step. Miss
Garden is now devoting her , fifteenth
year to grand opera. having made her
debut in "Thais" at the Manhattan in
New York, during the season of 1907
08. Since then she has been with the
Chicago organisation practically un
interruptedly. . But she will -not be new
to the concert stage, for that was ber
field prior to going into - opera, even to J
the extent of making transcontinental
tours. She was. heard. in the Armory
in this city In concert about a dosen
years ago and crowded it beyond the
standing room capacity. That the Chi
cagoa.na will object strenuously to her
re ti rem eat from ; their organisation is
certain, but Miss , Garden is - pretty
much of a person who- maps out her
own course in matters of art or- busi
ness. - ! -F .f i :' r

that be poured out a greater soul in

generally as ' the bushy-haired per-'
former who pounded pianos to pieces,

The old saying that art. and business
won't mix or that aa artist cannot be
or. seldom Is a business success is con
tradicted by the fortunes of most art
ists. The fact that their earnings are
large to Itself is a refutatloa of the
oft repeated assertion.' Mary iOarden,
who above all things ia an artist and
baa the traditional artistic tempera
ment, te said to have accumulated ' a
large fortune - Toy profitably . Investing
her earnings. For; her to go into the
concert field would again indicate good
business sense, because it is reasonable
to believe that she can demand- the

There; are no substantial precedents ;

after all. the varieties of artstic
minds are legion. But the time is

technique of psychological inventory
to practical affairs, and the discovery
and fostering of human talents Is In

TT lS not often that an actor, either
lon . tne legitimate stage or In the

reacting a role that he has lived in .real
life.--.; However, in - "The Go Getter,"
Cosmopolitan's picturisation of a Peter

perience of John Friend, known to his

"Jawn" may not be as familiar a fig'
tare .to -movie fans as IsiCharlie Chap
lin, Lionel Barrymore or some of the
other male stars of the screen, but
among motion picture people hs is
known from coast to coast. Ia short,
"Jawn" is a canine actor and credited
with- being as good a one .as ever
fought for a bone.- i-V-"'- '
? In X act,; Jawn's story 4s -one that
rivals those of our leading film stafs.
Hajs owned by Raymond McKee, lead
ing- man in pictures -who has appeared
opposite - soma of filmland's greatest
feminine stars, who loaned him ' to
Coemopolitan Productions for Abe pic
turisation of "The Go Getter.. In the
story "Jawn" plays a - prominent role.
In ithe" first "part' he; is considered a
dangerous and savage little beast and
every effort Is made to do away with
him by poisoning and drowning him.
Strange enough. "Jawn" was under
going just such an experience when he
came -intoi the "hands of McKee.;'1. Tne
actor was working In a picture on the
coast at the . time, and discovered
"Jawn" while out on location hr South
ern California, The dog was consider
ed wild and ferocious and many want
ed to dispose of hlm "Jawn? evidently
surmised their intention and absolutely
refused to eat any meat, -fearing that
it contained , poison. He subsisted on
fish, which , were . plentiful In the
streams around the section and which
he procured for feJmself , by diving Into
the waters." - ' .-ti- v :V;- f ' .
it waa this ability as a canine fisher
man that attracted McKee to the dog.
The latter also was attracted to the
actor, who immediately purchased him
later took him East, Since then "Jawn"
has developed into a. regular actor and.
according to ' Director Orirnth, is as
tame as a New ' Foundland, ' except
when" exigencies of the picture de
mand that he be otherwise.
T Roy Barnes and Seena Owen are
featured In "The Go Getter," the cast
of which also includes William NorrU.
Tom Lewis. Fred Santley. John Carr,
William J. Sorelle and Jane Jennings.
