given to mail orders.
That h cities outside Of he capital
are interested in the announcement
a already been manifested. Hun
dreds Of letters requesting seats have
been received and filed from citizens
Of both Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Minnesota has an enviable reputa-
ton all over the country as a music
loving state. In the past her fame has
been spread by Mime. Fremstad, a
Minnesota product. This year, it is
Florence Macbeth, a Mankato girl, to
whom the critics in New York and
Chicago are pointing as the greatest
colorature soprano OF a decade. Miss
Macbeth will appear during the st.
Paul season in Rigoletto with Titta
Ruffo, undoubtedly the greatest BARI
ton in the world.
Mary Gardens appearance in two
operas, Manon and Tosca, is regarded
as a triumph for the officials Of the st.
Paul Symphony orchestra who are re-
sponsible for the season Of grand OPP
era. AS a rule, Miss Garden appears
only once during a short engagement.
In addition to being one of the besS
known women in grand opera, Miss
Garden also enjoys the reputation Of
being the highest paid.
The season will be an "all-Minneso-
ia" opera season. Every effort will be
made to show guests who come to
near the operas a good time, the Asso-
citation of Commerce and Commercial
clubs promising special arrangements.
The seat sale also will be at more
popular prices than heretofore. The
scale for single seats will range from
$3.50 to IS, while the season tickets
will be from $3.50 to $25.
Perhaps the most notable production
Of the whole series will be that of Par
sifal which will start at 4 p. m, on
tinue to 6, when there will be an in
Permission Of two hours, then go or
from 8 to II. The Chicago company
has spent thousands of dollars on this
production and it's performances in
Chicago have resulted in no less than
a sensation.
