HAMMERSTEIM TO HEAD
GREAT OPERA MERGER

New York. Jan. 12.rhe World to-
day says: Upon authority that can
not be questioned, the World is able
to announce an operat!c project for
New York and other American cit
les that will startfe the world of grand
opera both in this country and in
Europe. In a word, it contemplates
combining the forces and opera houses
of The Metropolitan Opera company
and Oscar Hammerstein under the sole
direction Of the redoubtable Hammers
stein himself. Mr.. Hammerstein has
only to say the word and this ire
mendous scheme will be accomplished.
This announcement will be denied.
Mr. Hammcrstein will deny it and the
directors of the metropolitan will deny
it. but 1t is e. fact nevertheless. Twice
MI Haminerstein has been approached
by directors of the Metropolitan and
his final answer waits only an ad-
justment of his Philadelphia difficult
ties. The first conference was held
at the home OF one Of the directors
two weeks ago. and while no direct
proposition was made to Mr.. Hammer
stein, he was asked to consider taking
the dictatorship and to submit his
ideas on the whole scheme.

"PSYCHlcAL REST ROOM"

room, where ones worries and mental
ills are to be banished by that subtle
power which everybody is supposed to
contain within ones self. is to become

could remain in his pulpit until the
present time.
