THE cosTuMING
OF GRAND OPERA

BY Fortune Gallo, General Manager
San Carlo Grand Opera Company.
Each season the operas are equipped
more lavishly both as to costumes
and scenery. and the patrons thereof
have become SO thoroughly accustom-
ed to magnificent productions That no
product of the looms is too rich or
rare, or no costume too expensive for
use on the operate stage.
Naturally in grand opera the cos
tuning must conform to the period
and locale of the theme, while on the
concert stage and in the drama

the trappings, brilliant and otherwise
AS a rule these are mostly costly
save perhaps in the case of the prima
donna who plays the stellar role in
"Salome."
The fact remains that handsome
costumes will not save mediocre
opera or drama. Art and intellect
win where costumes fail. Fine feath.
