December 16—Covent Garden Opira House, which for more than a cen‘ury had been England’s premier horie for grand opera, has fallen under the influence of the modern trend toward comedy and jazz, and shortly will ‘open as & musical comedy emporium.

Although there have been a few at- 1empts since the war to reintroduce opera on a grand scale, they all have been failures. Covent Garden is not the only the- ater that has been forced to give up grand opera, for out of the many houses which in pre-war days pro- Globe=Wernicke Sectional Bookcases The Universal style of Book- cases, expandablé by _units | to any size.
