1T is not particularly surprising that
there should be reports that Mile. Anna

not to apupear at the matinee perform
ance on March 4, when the Boston
Grand Opera company and ballet come"
said +. A. Bachelor, the special repre-
sentative Of the combined organization
yesterday. for never before has this
plan Of giving what is really two per-
fOrmances in one been offered in
America. But she does appear, and
n full ballet is given at both matinee
and night as well as a complete opera.
1t is this new idea Of giving striking
variety Of entertainment that has made
Americans give a support to this new
plan that has gone far towards maxi
ing grand opera paying institution
! for the first time in this country. OPP
( era and ballet and pantomime all to-
gether have revivified opera.
Comes from Russia.
1T is not a new idea abroad. Russia
began it eight years ago, but this is
/ the first time il has been done in
America-and America has delighted
in it
Il am at liberty to make the first
announcement today that Max Rabin-
offs dream, that was considered so
wild when he first proposed it, of play
ing an annual season in certain cities
across the country is already a settled
fact Every city we have played in
since the company left New York on
its long tour has already made its
plans for a return engagement next
season. 1t is a feature Of the news
columns that the Chicago opera lost
$4,000 during its brief season this
year, and it is not a betrayal Of BUSH
ness secrets for me to tell that the
Metropolitan Opera has never had
money making year since it began, but
and 1t gives me immense pleasure to
be able to add that 'but-the Boston
Grand Opera company and the Paw
Iowa ballet has not lost one dollar
since it left New York. It is a record
that is likely to revolutionize grand
opera.
Love of Music Grows.
rs il that the great public love OF
music has grown greater?
Il would answer that TO a large ex-
tent il has. unquestionably. but the
real truth is that Max Rabincff and
Mile PavloWa are offering grand opera
modernized. with all that opera pre-
viously offered and big stage pictures
of beauty and life and action in il, be-
sides. instead of the more stilted per-
fOrmances.
And one Of the most welcome things
I can say to you is that we have not
cheapened the organization in the
slightest particular; there will be the
chestra, the splendid chorus. the entire
ballet, and even the enormous scenic
effects that were heard and seen in
New York. Boston, Chicago and other
leading cities and so greatly praised
by them.
The excellent advance sale is evil
dence the company will be welcomed
and my only regret for the FL Paso
engagement is that you have rot
larger auditorium that would allow us
TO pay expenses, for yours is the small
lest we are to play in this season"
