T7IIE three weeks season OF the san
l. Carlo Opera Company, which mas
just closed in Philadelphia, revealed
number of interesting side!ights on the
general operate situation nero.
Perhaps the first and most important
of these was the fact that the attend
ance, especially in the closing days OF
the engagement. showed that there Is in
Philadelphia distinct field for opera
at moderate price, when given by
good company. The merit which the
company possesses was clearly shown in
n repertoire ranging from "Lucin to
"Othello" and "Lohengrin.' Any or
ganization which can give such credit.
able performances Of opera, embracing
practically the whole repertoire, as did
Mr.. Gallo's company. and do it at
reasonable price, Is well worthy OF pub
lie support.
Ever since the beginning Of opera in
this country it has been diversion for,
the rich. The "star" system made it
such. because the enormous fees paid to
such prices as put opera beyond the
reach of the average purse. This sys-
TEN Mr.. Gallo has eliminated. and yet
is able to give performances of the
greatest excellence with very fine sing
crs and actors, thus making up casts
which really gain in balance as we'll as
spirit.
yr,IIE task of the San Carlo Opera
J. Company this year was one of pecu-
liar difficulty. because it had to win the
confidence of the Philadelphia opera =
going public. which had been sadly
shattered by some unfOrtuntc expert
cnccs in the not long gone past. Several
companies had announced seasons
of opera. sold tickets and then ceased
after few performances; another DIS

These experiences made the opera

course, those who knew the splendid
record of the San Carlo Company and
Mr.. Gallo, who is the only man in the
country who has been able to give high =
grade opera successfully at moderate
prices. had no such doubts. But the
San Carlo Company had only given
three performances in Philadelphia in
the early part of tho present year. and

question. which was perhaps. the hard :

A MOTHER interesting feature of the
"A season was the number of Phila
delpha singers who appeared at the
performances. Every singer who ever
warbled has at some time visions OF
the opera. and Mr.. Gallo gave several
young singers a rare opportunity OF
appearing with thoroughly experienced
artists in a strong. well balanced com
pany. with good orchestra and stage
settings. thus giving them every ad
vantage to show what they could do.

an infinitely pathetic little figure in

Then suddenly she asked her ques-

But she would not smile.

bitterly.
Nothard had not heard OF her speak
of her mother for years, but he had

he first fell In love with Dorothy, and
he remembered her as a homely, kind

whom she snubbed on every possible
