Known. The parents of Adelina Patti
were members of his company at this
house and were with him in 1858 at
Castle Garden. The year 1854 vas q
memorable one for Italian opera IN
New York and also for Maretzek=it
brought Mario and Grisi to Castle Gar
den and $4,000 profit to the fortunate
impHesario-
.Maretzek was the most energetic and
successful impresario America had yet
known. He it was who inspired the
building of the Academy of. Music. the
most pretentious home of grand opera
which had yet appeared in America
He did not at first achieve a financial
success=indeed. the new academy
passed through the hands OF five differ
ent managers in the first fifteen months
but he had the satisfaction OF pro-
ducing opera in its best form and with
some of the worlds most famous sing
ers. Among these were Brignoli and
Adelaide Phillips.
Maurice S~trakosch, who had mar
ried Amalia Patti, entered the field as
impresaria in 1857. Two years later
Adelina Patti made her appearance as
Lucia and carried everything before
her. From this time on she was the
u~ndisputed queen of the operate stage

appeared as a formidable rival. but her
exquisite voice did not wear well.
BY this time. It must be admitted,
] grand opera had obtained a firm foot
hold on the continent. As yet, how
ever, the position Of impresario was q
hazardous one. 1t was only by supple
mentary tours to Mexico and Havana
/ that many managers were able to avoid
bankruptcy. Maretzek, Strakosch.
Nixon, Grau, De Vino and Mapleson all
experienced the ups and downs OF the
venture. and Abbey, Damrosch n
Stanton were scarcely less uniucky in
most Of their operate flights. The
public taste could be satisfied by only
the worlds greatest singers, and the
latter were to be had only at prices
that made the business a fearful I'M

After thirty years Of ups and downs
at the Academy Of Music grand opera

new general, and the veteran Mapleson
prepared to give him battle. at he
Academy. Then followed a struggle
not unlike that which is to be fought
this season between the rival cohorts

Metropolitan had for its major attrac-

Etelka Gerster, then in the flower of

T may be said Of the grand opera
in America that it has developed
into a great industry. AS such it
is quite as deserving of tEe popu-
lar attention as are. for example, the
broom corn trade and a host of utilities
hat are such and nothing beyond
Ragtime may be the musical ultima
thule OF the American masses-dis-
gruntled foreign artists who have failed
to make an impression on this side OF
the water have insinuated as much
but a successful business enterprise Is
always a matter of interest. and the
fact that IS coupled with music does
not make it less 50.
Grand opera has had a long ana de-
eidedly checkered history in this eoun-
try. The first thing that strikes one
who studies its career Of more than q
century and a half is that it has been
a continuous, if not permanent, insti-
tuition, a ship ever changing its cup
tain and cargo and never until recently
coming safely into port. Until the last
decade almost every promoter of the
industry has been buried under the
wreck Of mimic trees, temples, gardens.
palaces and the glittering p~arapher-
MALTA that serve to make the illusion.
The day Of financial defeat has come
as certainly to the impresario as the
rising OF the curtain and the going
down of the same.
The situation has changed materially
The number of those who may have as
much of it as they choose has been
multiplied greatly. and the ranks of
those who have acquired the habit of
nnrq-u Z,r-~ -, r-sfa ~ E~-a,s.I Ts-.f
tations have been swelled amazingly.
Grand opera in this country Will this
season enter upon a new and striking
period in its history. In New York
city there will be two great opera
houses in full swing at the same time.
with two Keen witted and ~resourceful
managers vyin- with each other to
please the public and with a double
galaxy of the brightest and most costly
operate stars scintillating to the very
best Of their ability.
It is no exaggeration to say thai the
situation created by these rival pur-
eyors to the public taste is unique.
Should both Mr.. Conried and Mr. Ham
merstein achieve success-and it seems
likely that they will-New York viii

greatest opera loving city in the world.
No 0fher city in the world has ever
maintained two opera houses of the
same rank as the Metropolitan and the
new Manhattan. nor has any other city
supported as many operate spellbind-
ers of the first class as viii be as
sembled in the American metropolis.
The first opera ever given in New
York was Gays The Beggar's Opera"
This was sung in 1850 in a building on
Nassau street by a company of English
actors, who alternated it with farces
and English comedies. At that early
day Gays s%prightly production was not
appreciated in America, for it is re-

Nervousness and sleeplessness are u.s.

The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which have a large, booming sale

composed OF alcohol holding the drugs in

greatly Injuries the system. One may feel

The COST OF ERROR.

What has the city OF Vinita suffered by reason OF the
error and wrong view Of certain persons in Vnita the
school question? Let US see Three years ago we
asked by every prospective conner the questions
uhaye youa high schooI?p We had to answer mo"
We told them that we would certainly have next
year. and we have been asked this question by hun
dreds Of prospective homeseekes and settlers for the
past three years. and have been promising for three
years that I'VE will have one soonnwe have still no
high school in vinta and we safely say that by
son Of ourhavDg had in the past we have lost at
least five hundred good people who have wanted to move
into our midst and settle here but did not do
because we had no high school here than account Of
any other proposition.
What does this loss men? II is not alone a loss Of
prospective investors and settlers but the greatest loss
has been TO those who already live in Vnta city Of
1000 people, and no grades higher than the grammar
grade taught In the public schools it educational
bankruptcy and stunted schools; it broken prog
ress for the boys and girls Of vinta and surrounding
coutry 1t means retarded growth of city and the
certain departure OF many who already live here unless
better schools are provided.
Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio,
New York Massachusetts and many other states better
schools are provided for the rural districts than
maintained here in vinita.
