new YORK, Oct. ll.-Noe he to the manage
who ventures to open dra1natico or musical sea
Eon in any ciir On this continent except New
York. For this is jealous people, If The critic
are just representatives Of it, aud, either tn
metropolis is the starting plate for things, o
they are not worth surfing. Mr. Fryer. for in
stance, chose Philadelphia for tine opening OF hi
WaSuer-Aicyerbecr opera test. Having giver
this city the preference last winter in his origi
nal Wagner venture, possibly lie thought it only
fair to favor anothc city this time. He will NJ
doubt see the error Of his ways when he reads
in metropolitan daily, That his action iu th'
matter is lone Of those mysteries which operate
managers eau alone hc expected to penetrate
And further, that 'ttraycling companies tlepen:
great deal for their success in the provincial
cities upon the reputation they make in Men
York -; wllile as 4 final and crusAcr, the critic
ad IS. q Without i good scnl-oE , by the New
Workers, no great venture is likely to succeed
How severe MIR. Frycr's blow was is evi14eed
by the quarter OF 4 co'u'nn devoted to the sub.
jcct. Before ending with it, the Jealousy and
lack Of logic both creep out in this singular
sentence: whatever the managerial reason
for the selection of Philadelphia may bc, there
can be little doubt that, With Il repertoire con-
tanning absolutely nothing new, a season Of
German opera in New York just nov. would not
be likely to succeed" II is hard to understand
why ANYBODY should feel hurt At the loss Of at
old repcr;oi or @ruu1be at a manager for not
opening in Il city where liz would not be likely
tu succeed. Then. in the face OF the vaun1inT
remarks hare quoted, it will be interesting Tor
Chicago readers to know that
THEODORE THOMAS
bids fair to be more widely appreciated ut home
since his successful efforts in YOUR city. He
most assurcdy would not agree to the asSump-
ton that good metropolitan /" send-of" is
either all absolute necessity or necessity 1T all
to success outside; neither would he snecr at
praise and appreciation though it did happen to
conc from other than q metropolitan source
1t is both easy and common to put on cheap airs
and make universal claims. but it is i rare thing
10 passess modesty and judgment.
Aside from the Thomas concerts. classical

Danrosch 4, Steinway Hall is not only rich in
promise, but the manager has recognized the
demand for popular prices, and the lovers Of
fine music will bc able to enjoy themselves
without the consequences Of Groaning pocket.
Then there is to be season Of English opera at
the Fifth Avenue. where Mr.. Fiske will etdeay-
or to avoid Mr. Days fate; ard later OIL both
Italian and German operate engagements will
do something toward making the Academy OF
Music pay Tor itself, conesscdly difficult thing
to do. So that the season will not he wanting |
