oecoid Secticn L INFGW GRAND OPERA HOLDS GERMANS' INTEREST Practically Every Town, Despite Hard Times, Has Its Theater Leipzig, March 14.—There is scarce- ly a town of any size in Germany that has not a state theater or munieipal opera house, and nearly all of these have continued to operate during and since the war despite the financial ups and downs of the government and cit- ies. Officials have always taken the view that one of the most practical ways of preventing conditions from going from bad to worse is to keep the places of amusement open to the public. The idea, it is pointed out, is two-fold in its purpose. It keeps the artists busy and gives the people op- portunity to attend an opera or a play during which to forget their troubles | even though only for a few hours, The musical education of Germany bas been in progress for many gen- erations. There is a piano in nearly every home where there are children. Germany perhaps has more teachers of music than any two other coun-| tries of Europe. In early days the rulers of the several component king- doms were the chief patrons of music and a majority of the great compos- +1s at some time in their careers were i the services of a royal master. The | rmer kaiser always took a great in- est in good music, and many a defi- cit in a state or municipal opera house | was made up out of his private purse | to assist ¢ keeping the enterprise on its feet and going, Germans say to appreciate real opera frequent visits are necessary and that it is often necessary to hear the sume grand opera piece six times be- tore one grasps the idea in its entirety, The musical feast offered at the Cologne opera house last season in- | 1 48 operas and was typlcal of 1 pertoires offere Many old favorites » in the but two new ones, “The Bird,” Vogel) and “Der Vetter aus Din d to be thé most popular. as sung 18 times and the lat 7 performances, There were rmances of “Cavalleria Rusti- Nine Wagner operas were giv | of 40 performances with r heading the Ust, having ung nine times, A season ticket, which in of two performances er IdeY's of tickets to hear any opera fosived, sells for $12 to 815, Some of the German towns possess theater as well as an opera house, but in the smaller towns one building i« used for oporas as well as plays, Borlin * as stute playhouses, two , grand opera ex- list, (D ot them ¢ 1 clusively, Emperor Issues Orders To Rebuild Winter Home | Tokto, March 14,~Two milllon yen s buen sct aside for the reconstruc. ¢ tmperial villa at Hayama, 0 miles southwest of which, before it was 1 by the September carth- , was the favorite winter resi-| peror, ( as in the center of the ¢, and the imperial cred badly, Part of the 1 the villa enclosure sank | the ecarthquake, | the Hayama villa cannot be ‘ is winter, the emperor and | empross avewintering at Numazu, WATKINS {PATEN ! gineer while prospecting TS ISSUED TO CONNECTICUT PEOPLE .
