1THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNI: BUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1873, THE OPERA. Some Suggestions as to the Dress of Attendants, Pleasing the Eye as Well ag the Ear. The Men Who Beat Time with Their Boot-Heels, L Tho first snow-storm of tho senson has boon robing the carth in a whito mantlo, and, in its epotloss benuly, suggosts othor oharming robos and wrappings that we have recently soon, It romliads us, also, that winter Is really hore, and that, with its advont, will also como to us, by sud by, thoso NIGUTINGALES FROM FONEIGN LANDS, o dolight onr onra sud doplote our pufsos. ‘While we slinlt gladly welcomo them, and fiose of us who can will liston entranced by thoir maogie nolos, why, whon the esr is sonding to tho brain tho sweetest of acvords, must tho oyo bo forcod to tolegraph thither the most aunoy- ing of discords? Why is it nocossary that ¢ Motley ' should bo the only wonr” whon Italian oporn 18 .on thdboards in Ohleago? As tho interprotor of. the oracles of Fashion, wo must dieclalm againet it, Who that hag ever been abroad, or oven at tho Academy in Now Yorlt, has not beon delightod, not only with tho swoob sounds, but also with the BRILLIANT DISPLAY OP COSTUME? Heore is the place were Indios wenr thelr hand- some drosses and show their jowels. Hero, rich entins, rare laces, and flashing goms are in place. What s the fact in Ohicngo? You sce silk dregacs and diomonds trelled through the Exposition building, aud » serge streot-suit and undrosaed kid-gloves at tho opora. To a person of good tasto, tho rosult is absolutely shooking. To ona who haa scon opora proseutod and ate tonded ss it should be, it is moro a pain thon o plensure to witness it horo, As yet, opora isnot an agtablished institution in Chieago; wo only geb it in brief spatchos; butall tho more resson, then, why wo should groet it be- comingly. *' Dut tho oxpense!” sighs Mater- familins, ag sholooks at hor family of daughtors, and knows that the times are hard, The exponse need bo ¥ NO MORE THAN AT PRESENT. Who, among our bevy of fair girls, lns not an evening-dress or & recoption-costumo of silk, tarletan, or organdy ? ‘Whatmora is necossary ? Morely that the hairshould be coiffed becom- ingly, o fowor addod, & cashmoro mantle for tho shoulders, e woila lout! But a car- ringe will be nocessary? Not absolutoly, it it capnot bo had, Madamo or Madomoisello can pla her akirts up about hor, cover them with a wator-proof, wrap s floecy cloud about hior pretty head and cars, and take 'bus or streot-car to hor dostination. Sho will be loss conspicuous nnd more comfortablo thus than in her gay carringo or calling dress, and, when sho reaches tho ppers, will lielp £ add au atom toward the brill- isnt tout-ensomble, This, of courso, necesnltatos A CRUSH-ROOY, and into those the ladies’ dressipg-rooms can easily be turned. An atteudant to receive outor- wiaps and cheels thom will also bo roquisito, aud this 18 what Chicago noads. Lo M. McViokor Jook to such arrangomonts befora Lucca or Nils- gon comes, and 1ot the public demand it, "Thio ncarest approach to perteetion, and to the foreign staudard, ever reached in Awmorics, was in the little ASTOR-FLACE OPERA-HOUSE, in Now York, boforo tho proscut Acedemy was built. A love for elassical music hnd not thon pormeatod tho million, a8 it Ling since, and it was only patronized by the fow who had culti~ vated tho taste abroad. Tho placo was small, but its 6ofas sud armechairs woro spncious, and sonranged that each individual was a porsonal presonce, o decided utit,—not & mero stom in & conglomorate masy. It was o favorito suoor of the uncducated, that “You con't go to the opera without Kid gloves_ and n claw-hammer coat.” Tho sncorer would probably have pre- ferred the minatrels, whora Lo could go without any such_porsonal adornments, Full dress woa deregle for tho opets, as much as it was for a ‘ball ; and the effect was brilliant in the extrewe. Evory ona felt in good humor, becauss overy one knew bo or she was looking his or hor best, TUE EYE, as woll as tho ear, was gratified, Soclality reigned. During tho entr'acte, Ar. Jouos called on Mrs, Brown, snd My, Brown on Mra. Jones, inotead of both musculines seizing their hate and rushing out to cool their throats with somothing hot, leaving tho auditorium looking ns if & fomale congress was being held, to the exclusion of the usurper man. It waa not considered gon- tlemanly at that time, and in that socioty, to take 21ady out, andleayo hor alono in tho theatro. Bometimos callers remained through tho follow- ing act, and tho inforchango was extromely dlensant. Tho parquet ond balcony-sofas were alled with benutiful and briltinnt womon in sitke, eating, acrophane, and jowels, which woro cons trasted by the black coais of their cavaliers. Tho eccond tior contained the boxes, and o tho notabilities wore nightly to bo'soon : ~, Little (whoso busband was then the auto- crat of Wall street), und who was roputod uover to wear the samo drogs twice; Mrs., James Gor~ don Bennott, then in her primo; to say nothing of the reprosentatives of the old Euglish and Duteh famalios who early sottlod on Manhattan sland. ‘Uhe upper tier slono was reserved for those who woro not en grande toune, and even “*“re & certain acknowledgment of ‘tho exnctions >f the place wag requirod. 'To old opera-goers tho presont Acadomy has nover scemed the eame. It has crowded ite ‘> together; bas permitted dress-hats ‘0 be worn (cpora-bounets to Lo pure); mnde room for tho great million, A secided improvemont, no doubt, for tho mnny ; neceatary ono for 8o largo aud cosmopolitan a ltfl as Now Yorl. ut what we want here is a juste milieu, Why ot aesumo tho old Astor Opora-tTouso standurd, nd make 1t do yigonr that tho parquet and fivsy :ll‘duecoud circles shall only bo open to thoso ‘ho COME IN FULL DRESS? hilo, if thera aro any who do not wish to ac- ~do fo this stipulation, they sheli find it quite reapectablo to liston from tho uppor tior, his could be offected if the price aslied were tho mo throughout the houso, with the exception f the back eents in tho uppor cirelo. Rosorving ““s ot o losw prico for tho lovors if music who ecannot afford to pay the egular amount for tickets, all might bo ratified, Why should not Chicago innugurate his roform befora another opera-season? Wa 18 quite cortain that, if once tried, the offect il be ro pleasing that no onoe will eare to again eo tho mixed array of costumos that greotod ‘s vision last year. Lot Mr, MoVicker gob s crueh-rooms rendy, whoro water-proofs, hawis, aud nubias muy be loft; and let esch ‘lzln-n McIlimsoy umong you gek her wraps in ‘der. To thoso who bavo NEUTHER BALL NOR EYENING DRESSES, nd‘yct who hopo to Loer tho opora troupe, we ould suggest the romodoling, if necessnry, of sme thin, summer dross, and the knuitting of sme tlecoy load-covering, If you go iu tho reet-car, you nced not svear thin shoes, 30 we have alroady shown hiow com- ortable & wrap o waler-proof will ove.

Whon ho also audibly remorks that ho profors tho minstrols, ono wondors why ho tortures himsolf and others by pitting so uncasily mm".fih' performanco not intorosting to Lim, So, fair damos with tiukling ornaments, you oo you arc uot the only onea to be consnred. Dadas tho “gounding brass,” or ovon purer wmotal, is,itls notao badae the musical man'y podul metronomes, By sll means lot us have tho high stools and conducting ushers. Or, if {his conuot woll bo arranged, supposo, at tbe mnext concert or opora, ovory woman shall wear ono or more bells, and overy man _ heavy boots. At tho commoncemont of somo sweot symphony or_dlicato aris, lob oach woman gtve & flirt and o jinglo to bor ornamonts, and whisper loudly to lior nolghbor. Let overy man Dboat time with his boot-heals, and dedlare ‘aloud his musical proforouces, whother for miustrels or brass bande. Then MARK THE EXFECT. And yot what is ono man's or woman's privilege sbould be tho right of all ; aud we think, it the fow who thus aunoy their neighbors could real- izo tho effact by & goneral and simultaneous movemont of tho samo kind throughoutan entiro audiencs, thoy would at last be convinced that such perfonal aggression upon thelr part ie noither in good taate nor o mark of rofinoment. While a fow, from any solfish causo whatover, can go annoy tho many, it must pros .vyoko consurs, and wo do mot doubt but what the mn{:)rity of tho audienco, who really wish to hesr, and the performers, who aro doing thoir best to bohoard and appreciatod, would be equally delighted 1f all the whisporing, Jingling, and Ilmn-hnullng could bo gotton through with nt onoe, and then a propor silonce on the part of the audienco bo allowed to ensue, IF ANY ONE DECOMES BORED, 1s it worth whilo to remain and yawn of whisper, Just for the Jools of the thing, or for the sake of gotting ono's money's worth 7 It roquires natu- ral musical taste, or s deal of cultivation, to properly aporeciato aoloutiflo musio. It mich, iir or Madame, it has not beon your fortunate lot to onjoy ;. if Euterpe waa not at your christ— ening, or & life-long residence in some metro- politan city has not made you conveorsant with tho firest, musleal compiosors, aud you find yonrsolf satistiod with the baked beans and brown bread of musical composition, manifost in “Yankeo Doodle " or ‘* Old Johv Brown," or the custard-nnd-apple-plo of *Molly Darling" or “Lily Dale,” why bo nskamed of your plain tastes? You 1o doubt pride yourself upon your fipum’un n})pu!ito‘ and _dotostation of Irouch ickehaws in cooking. You have not lenrned to spprociate them, and, if you tasted o dish you did not like, you would not boapt to eat it st all, or mako yoursolf disagreonblo at a friond’s table by any spasmodio yejestion of it, or loud cammonts Upon its insipidity or uauseousncss, Why, tbon, do you come to the public music- feaat, and aet in such s manner? I'hat is s placa which you can leave betwoen tho acts without distwbing any one. Don’t fevl oblized to swal- low the musical bill of faro, if you don’t like it. IT 18 YERY FOOLISI to remain and be bored; it is very ill-bred to romain and aunoy othera who da like tha fonst, and would fnin enjoy it with ear snd eyo, Lot us hope, then, for full-dress opers aud concorta; for Kingsbury Hall would look vory brilliavily it filled with ladies in evening-dress, and gontlemen in regulation black clothes, to add the nu{uibit« shadow to so much light. Leave tho time-marking boot-heels and the tukilng bells at home; save the whisperin Easxlp for the enir'acte, when it shal 0 _quito tho thing to intorphange calls and ~ criticisms with your neighbor, If any ono is bored, or prefers stepping over to Myors’, pray don't let conventionality and a dread of ‘Mru. Grundy stand in the way, but go and onjoy yowrself, my friend, and let nous auires gens enjoy onrseives. Wo shall neithor miss nor despigo you. Every ono is not born or educated to omelotte sousile, or lomon cheese- cakes, and you will only make it tho more mani- fest if you stay, and yawn, aud whisper,—and o shnll know then Tor a certainty that it is ¢+ John Brown’s Body," or # Lanigan's Ball” that you nro hanloriug’ after. Bottor go quictly, if You 40 not wish the fact known ; and, if you aro thought of ®t all, which is doubtful,it will prohably be put down to un unfortunato iltnoss of the moment, aud 1ot to an uucultured tasto. H. —_—— THE MAN WITH THE UMBRELLA. Ho has opened out well during the Jast fow weoks. Ho liag often carried the tips of his rat- taas Just ono inch too low during the altornating deys of drizzle, and thusset eilk hats enough bottom up along the curb-stonos to infoct a dis- tant nmatour with the delief tbat every seoond street-number has boon oponed as & rostaurant, with fanoy formentation-tubs out in front to bold the rejocted hash. 1o bas also hut up, botween showors, dur- ing harvest-days of equincotinl happiness, with much groater solf-gatisfaction than ever a woman’s tonguo foldod isolf away, bub with much less convoniouce tocompanions, For, the umbrella of the man with the umbrolla is most dangerous when smallost. Closed for o day, it has, like collapsed banks, punctured weak stom- aclis on all sidos. This man with tho umbrella is always the esme—provided lo bo the ssme man with the same umbrella. Otherwiao, his gonue varios in its specios with as manifold abeauty a8 the marigold or tho hollyhock. The old-fashioned 0)d man—the origal Jonathnn of Now England—comos Wost to still declare war on peacoabo communities by placing bis green- cotton umbrells under arms. Many younger mon, who have mothers-in-law to mlug about orowdail 6troots, also adopt this high horizontal mothod, with sound, practical benefit for a ro- sult, having first eclocted umbrellas with special roferenco to their stilotto-like build at the apox. 1o lends tho way through the crowds of & cloudy day, with bLis umbrella-point hold firmly to thio rear, and mothor-in-law o littlc more €0 ; hio hinits ; sho hins on o full hoad of steam; fat man behiud lor Las ditto; ro- sult, mother-in-law benutifully gored, and no longor to encronch upon bis stteution, save by the conventional hat-band of crapo. If it's foggy in tho morning, tho liltlo man Doiats Lis parnsol, aud inslsta on extrying 1t in thas shapo nll day. And, with it thus, ko Lops through the ‘crowd like & toad going wast undor o walking-steol. It araws to him such uniquo attention as Laymnkors bestow upon yollow-jackots. o is always In hasto to rench tho farthor sido of o crowd dotted with men of oxtra altitnde and four-story hnts. Ifho goos to ohureh through tho rain, ho carrios hia cotton companion oroct iuto the vestibule, and holds it opon long enough for it to apit dirty water in tho faco of every pleco of aflfz within rench of its rim, Ilo {4 consin to the born boor who Thes walked to tho rallrond’ station through the rain, and ontors tho la- dies’ car to olovato his juloy alpaca over the right-hand row of Yuuplo in soaty, waddle lnzily toward the opposito ond, and fol- low nis umbrella into tho soat beside tho best- droseod Indy bo sces,—using it ns a Hort of Drush-fonco botwoon Limsolt and hor, The othor man, bosides tho old man and the youug man with tho mother-in-law to murder, who “wonrs his dry-weather umbrells under his arm on the spirit-lovel plan, {8 tha nervous man wha s harmioss ouly aftor doath. o clucke it first undor his loft wing with & twan, that flaps & emall ghovelful of mug among tho bosom-plalts of the unfortunato bejug bohiud him, 1o is notifled of his um- brolin’a onrthly loss, sud epius about to apolo- gizo and assist in esoorting homo the coquottish Toul cstato, at the snmotime thoughtfully chuug- ing his umbrella's onda {uat in time to wipo the mire-end, likon buttor-knifo, soross tho coat- sloove of tho pasaing ploboinn, Thop Lo con- cluden thnk tho othor muat bo-tho right arm, as, of courso it is, oud thoreunder procoods to hover - his troublosomo ohickon,—taking vant care, this timg, to cleynle its all above Dbreast-ncoldents to s toar noighbor.

The man who carrics his streot~umbrotla, when in dry-dook, liko & doublo back- aotion catapult hung in bis hond at its contro of gravity and dangorous fore and aft, has rmqunnl?ymcolved invitations by snothor man's hond to ohooso his weapon, time, and ‘place for tho settlemont of an affalr of lonor resulting from his wnbrolla-offorts to impross coples of ** punch” on the most improssionable parts of strangora; but ho always namos tho main stroot for tho place, at the time whon it's likoly to raln moro, and for bis woapon tho umbrella, As tho nfigrlevod dooen't lika all tho ohances of doath nq nst him, ho falls to fight. That umbrolln-stock of the horizontal swing, that is evor oo the scont for young children's cyes bohind it, is not to be courted for combat. . Whon my hero, balaucing his umbrolla across his sboulder like & fence-rail, givos proof of having pasucd hia_oarly lifo fu' tho backwoods, ho ia comporatively harmless, Comparatively, 28 10 only now and then halts long cnough for some ootogenarian in his roar, whoso oyes aro sbout worn out anyway, and can’t dis- tinguish s pondont oyo-iash from o ship- cablo without arranging his sunsct oyes in_ show-cases, to rush forward snd pick the boam out of his eye with oo um- ‘brelia-top so thoroughly that he never after gota & beam of light iuto it. el Whea lie_occsaionally fancies himsolf a sol- dier, with his umbrella for a_musket, and prom- onados under constant orders to '‘present arms," the outsido world ia safo, thongh ho, of courso, whon tho ranks of tho crowd closo in wpon him, makes his umbrolla-stock save his pockot-handkorchiof. But, in all his aseaults upon lis fellows and bimself, the umbrella-carrior is ‘tho most innocent of ovil-doers, Ho is as innocent of maljeo ns *‘our Cmsar”is of tho ability to bo Julius Cmsar, If ho punches an abdomen hay- ing tho rommauts of “a man hiddon belind it, Do rogrots, apologiacs for, and forgots it in time to got ready for tho noxt' stomach that walks a nco or two rjiond of its owaor, or for one of uot“ who laviug eyes seo not—till one oye is out. Hoping to livolong cnough to attend tho funeral of this oharacter, and plant bis grave with thistles and burdocks, is useless; for, if any man eyor schioves immortality upon onrth, it will bo ¢ the man with the umbrolla,” -~ BopsTER. ———— MUSICAL NOTES, Ambroiso Thomas, composer of * Mignon," is writiug a new opora, Englieh opora is to bo established in London on a Inrge scalo noxt spring.
