The High Cost of Tosca

the financial risk gave Mr.. Gatti-Casazza
a free hand to build up an organization
that would produce the best opera possible,
artistically. regardless of cost. He need
give no thought to the financing which
was taken care of for him. His singers
were TO remain in New York during the
opera season. He and they had opportu-
nifty TO progress unhurried without the
pressure of financial need. Neither in
terest nor dividends have ever been paid
on the original money invested.
The first few years of the new regime
saw enormous deficits. but slightly dimin-
ishing ones. The men who had assumed
the risk bore it, and Mr.. Gatti-C -Casazza's s
genius for organizing began to make itself
felt. 1t appeared not only in the coordinat-
ing of the spider web of departments and
activities in the opera house but in the
resulting high quality of the opera given.
1t was also effective in increasing the
popularity of operagoing, so that it became
a habit and a necessity rather than a
luxury 10 an increasing number of the

the boxes do not pay for the cost of pro-
ducing an opera The lower priced seats
are most important factors. 1t is the
regular support of the music lovers that
tips the balance of cost toward the safety
mark. If the production is excellent these
seats are full.
II has been found that lavish expendi-
lures are justifable and that they insure
the support of the public. The great need
as some in authority see it. is for more
and better accommodations for those who
really. systematically support finely pre-
sented opera, the music lovers The form
OF the opera house is aRtiquated. so that
as every one knows some of the seats are

one or two thousand more seats were
available they would be used. The direc-

Madame Jeritza has many rehearsals. but

"Tosca" is for a less conventional and

The cost in preparation and planning for
any opera when it is new covers weeks

In the meanwhile the stage swarms with

Genoa, May 1.-(By the Associated
Press.)-The work of completing the
allied proposals to Russia was resum-
ed today with the promise of more
rapid headway than heretofore.
The last few days have brought in,
to evidence more harmonious spirit
between the British and French dele
cations. despite the continuing
clashes between Mr.. Lloyd George and
M. Barthou.s Confidence is felt that
divergence in the British and French
views can be adjusted so as to present
solid front to the Soviet delega-
tions.
|. M. Barthou wishes to see the. pro-
posals whipped into shape before
leaving for his heart to heart talk
with Premier Poincare, and now plans
not to start for Paris before tomor-
row night. 49,,
While nothing has been officially
communicated to the Russians as to
the progress of the work, they have
been able to keep familiar with what
has already been deci.led by the pow
ers, through publication of the de-
tails in Genoa.
The impression also obtains that
quiet unofficial conferences are TAX
ing place between the Allied delegates
and Soviet leaders in an endeavor to
lead them to appreciate the stand
point Of the powers in their task of
planning the economic Remuneration
Of Russia.
