SUBSCRIBING

Subscribers for a three weeks sea-
son OF really high class grand opera,
by the Mario Lambardi company. are
fast pledging amounts. which, it is be-
lieved will total enough by the end OF
this week to enable Manager McGreer
to return signed contracts to the TIA

opera engagement an assuredy. Mr..
DomkokicZ, who has been making a
canvass for supporters Of the venture
has already secured signatures pledg-

their equal, excepting IN the cases
where Mile. calpe and Meiba were
heard IN short concerts. A genuine
grand opera season has never been
given here, due to the fact perhaps
that an opportunity has never been
presented to local impresarios OF Sc
curing an organized company, and
that McGTeer should be given every
