Solves Problem of Presenting Grand
Opera Outside of the Larger
Cities-Houses Should
All Be Alike
ON LIST

New York. August 17-Oscar Hammer
stein. impressario believes he has solved
the problem of presenting financially sue
cessful grand opera outside the larger
cities. and outlined his plans today in a
statement.
The erection of a string of opera houses.
as alike as peas in pod, extending from
coast TO coast is the most important fea-
ture of Mr.. Hammersteins ambition. or
this plan he writes:
Il Will erect in every CITY of nronl-
nence, with the assistance of those inter
ested in the welfare and progress of their
city, outside of New York, Philadelphia
Boston and Chicago. an opera house of
fireproof construction. seating about 1000
including 40 to so private boxes"
Mr.. Hammerstein says the houses must
nave noble and imposing elevations the
electrical and mechanical features TO be
exactly alike with orchestra spaces in
each fol no less than rs musicians and
dressing rooms for from 200 to 800 persons.
Ey making the buildings Identical he ex-
poets to reduce the price to a minimum.
The fact that majority of theatres in
the smaller cities are too small or other
WISE untitled for operate productions,
the booking of continuous routes and the
item of railroad fare combine at present,
ne says to make impossible presentation
of financially successful grand opera. Two
INES of operate centers which he has in
mind include Albany, Syracuse Buffalo,
Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
81 Louis, Kansas City and Denver on
one circuit and Baltimore Washington,
Norfolk, Richmond, Atlanta, Birmingham,
Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans, Gal
weston. Houston Dallas and San Antonio
on another He believes each Of these
cities could be assured of two or three
weeks of opera each year and that the
ethical advantages resulting therefrom
would outweigh the commercial aspects
necessary to its inception

rierstein disposed of his operatic ventures
In New York, he is prohibited from again
