In his statement Mr.. Gatti says:
after the close Of the season OF
1914-15, more than on any previous
occasion during my administration, |
feel that | must express my most cor
dial thanks to the public, TO Mr.. Otto
II. Kahn and his colleagues OF the
board of directors and to all the mem
bers Of the Opera Company, my CO.
laborers.
mo season in the history of the
Metropolitan, | venture to say, had
been confronted at the outset by so
many difficulties and with prospects
less promising than the season just
ended. However, the courageous spirit
shown by the board of directors in
assuming the entire responsibility for
what seemed 10 be a most risky un-
dertakinG, the loyalty of the public,
which so numeTously attended our
performances despite the general
financial depressions, and the good will
and zeal Of every one, high and low,
connected with the organization have
helped surmount the difficulties, so
that it affords me special pleasure to
be able 10 say that the season has
been a success. ! also take occasion
TO express my gratitude to the press
for its appreciation of the work OF

Mr.. DAILY had to contend last night

Anne Sutherland, as Catherine, was
