The new Tivoli was opened to the
public last night. more auspicious
opening could not have been desired
by the management. From pit TO
dome the handsome playhouse was
crowded by an appreciative audience.
It was a critical gathering, and withal
a charitable one. 1t overlooked delays
and condoned incidents that brought
discomfort. Instead of complaints and
criticisms the management heard
praise Kind words were showered on
those interested in the temple OF music,
and the praise was deserved. There
is not a handsomer playhouse in this
city. or west of the Rockies. 1t is
modern in every particular, and, what
is most important, its acoustics are re-
markably good. Every word uttered
by those on the stage, every note of
the catchy music sung or played by
the orchestra could he heard in all
parts of the house. The seats are
roony, the aisles wide, the seating ar
rangements highly satisfactory.
The opening of the new playhouse
marked an epoch in the annals Of the
stage in San Francisco. The best peo-
pie in this city attended the opening
performance and admired me beauti-
ful interior.
What a glorious place for the Grau
opera season could be heard on
every side. and this was the highest
tribute that could be paid for the
grand opera season is after all the one
event in the lives of the music-loving
people OF San Francisco.

nice about the interior furnishings, dec
