Tha Impresario must watch the move

dissatisfied with her success under an

Aside from the unique and Interesting
features of the San Carlo organisation,
perhaps one of the most Important points
la the matter of the cost of seats.. For
the first time In local musical history,
the muBlo student la going to be able to
attend the operas without suffering an
undue strain upon the pursestrtngs. The
clever season, or membership ticket plan,
worked out by the opera managers and
torlum, and rlsht here Is another lr,
stance where such a groat theater be
comes Important and beneficial to th
cultural side of the city.
The cost of tickets will be found 1n an
other column of this paper. Hundreds o!
the membership tickets havo found Mid
way Into the hands of local opera lovett
many peoplo from neighboring cities wll
be here for the event and Indications art
that a vast number will enjoy the delight
ful festival of song.
