New Yorks season Of opera was
ushered in last night in it's old-time
pre-war splendor, and society of New
York, Washington, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and other social centers throughout
the country filled the boxes of the par
terre row, the grand tier, the omnibus
boxes and the orchestra chairs, The
foreign diplomatic corps, conspicuous
by its absence at the premier of the
Metropolitan Opera House in the last
flve years, was once more represented
IN the fashionable gathering, and many
titled foreigners also were guests in
the boxes. From every point sof view
1t was the most brilliant opening the
opera has had in years.
The Golden Horseshoe" once again
shone out in all it's oldtime brilliancy
and was ablaze with jewels. Ornaments;
which were pretty generally discarded
at the last three openings were again
IN evidence, giving the parterre row
a dazzling appearance.
The gowns were all brighter and
more gorgeous than in war days, and
the general appearance of everything
about the house was in striking con-
trast to the last few seasons The
opening of the opera last year came
on Armistice Day, but there were too
many missing from their accustomed
places and too many in mourning to
make the affair as gay as on other oc-
casions. Last night it was different,
and every one was in happy mood
and there was much visiting from box
to box during the intermission. Oc-
