SANTA MONICA PLANS First Night Gleam Of Gems Lacking At Opera Opening Chicago Society Women Don Imitation Jewels in Greeting Premiere. By the Associated Press, CHICAGO, October 28.—All was not Kimberley that sparkled last night at the opening of the second season of the Civic Opera. ‘Though Gold Coast residents were garbed in their usual brilliance for the American premiere of “Loren- zaccio,” much of the customary firs night radiance was missing. Even as- surances that the promenades would be paced by a host of “dress clothes- men” failed to encourage a general digging into strong boxes. Mrs. Rockefeller McCormick, society leader, adhered to her determination to leave her famous Catherine of Russia emerald necklace in its vault. She wore only a pair of diamond ruby earrings. Many of the other society women followed her example. There were a few exceptions, but in the main the women donned imitation glitter for the evening. Carol Made Marshal.
