SELECTING SITE
FOR OPERA HOUSE
Miss Cryder Besieged With
Congratulations From
All Sides.

Each new announcement of the plans
Of Oscar Hammerstein and his proposed
opera house in Washington excites more
interest among music loving people of
the Capital. Mass Mary Cryder, through
whose efforts Mr. HammersteIn has be-
come directly interested in Washington
as a location for one of his additional
interests, has been besieged and con-
graduated by opera lovers for her cour-
age in undertaking such a gigantic
scheme, and the success with which her
efforts have been met.
So Tar no size has been selected for
the new opera house. There are a num-
Der or locations under consideration but
none has as Yet been selected for the
reason that many persons are TO be
consulted before site shall be deter
mined upon.
In order that an idea may be OBJ
talned as 10 how soon the opera house
may be built it was stated this morning
that Mr.. Hammerstein will be ready to
Dreak ground one WetEL after q location
has been selected.
Few Of the details Of the scheme have
yet been made, but il is understood Mr..
Hammersteln's idea Is 10 give one per
romance or opera week for fifteen
weeks. On the other nights the house
VIII be available for concerts and other
attractions, even for thea rical compan-
les which might otherwise be unable TO
get into Washington. The seating ca
pacity viii be about 1000, but when the
mouse Is needed for a performance re
curing less space the building will be
properly parutoned and adapted 10 this
purpose.
