contemplating Il change of site
from the present structure at

house can be built TO meet tho
eyer-increasing demand Of the must

The erection OF an opera house Is
not the only problem which con-
front. the directors in the produc-
ton of opera that requires several
hundred persons all apart from the
large cast of singers. Not the least
of these problems, which the pub
lie never realizes, Is the matter Of
supplying adequate storage space
for scenery and properties, and 10
accommodate the vast mechanical
departments necessary to the com
pany.
Like Road Shows
Because of the fact that most OF
the scenery and properties OF the
Metropolitan must be moved after
each performance. and often trans
ported across town TO one of the
storage warehouses used by the
company. it has been declared that
the Metropolitan is placed in the
position OF regular road show
