¢ PARIS OPERA NOW IS FAGING PROB Intrigne and - Commercialism Injuring Institution Paria, Feb. 24—UP—The world- famous Paris opera, maintained by & government subsidy, has been threatened with A senate investiga- tion. Benator Louis Tissler sceks the inquiry, charging that mismanage- ment of the institution has caused it to sink “to the level of provincial houses.” Intrigue and commercialism have fnjured the opera, he charges, art- ists are underpaid and special priv- {leges are granted to tired business men of Paris, in the role of patrons of art as excmplified in the opera ballet. His allegations have 80 stirred the French public’ that the govern- | ment, defending the opera, has promised to eliminate some of the Ppractices to which be objects. Stars desert the opera, Senator Tiacler told the upper house of the | French parliament, because salaries are only onc-fith as large as before the war. Good singers get only $3,000 or $4,000 a ycar, and Zam- belli, the opera's great danseuse, is declared by Tissler to receive but $30 a month. Moreover, he comi- plains that the French public often whistles at epera productions that “belong in the music halls” and that health conditions in the build- g would amaze inspectors. But dissatisfaction with the op- #ra’s‘'management Is not all on one side. . Regular opera-goers Jately lost their traditional right to 8° backstage and pass the time of @#ay with the ballet girls. For a hundred vears the ‘“regu- mfih‘“ had backstags privileges. art and literature have gound many inspirations in this Phase of opera life Finally the nagement complained that the formances were being disorgzan because gentlemen with season Mckets sought to use their influence ® befriend favoritas. pera spongors wera lampooned by #he publicc nicknamed “opera Papas” and charged with trying to Ppush forward feminine friends with more beauty than talent have | Wealthy | demonstration of their skill, but critics contended that the presence of interested friends affected the ratings. So the “opera papes™ will be ex- cluded henceforth not. only from the ‘wings, but from the annual examina- tion of the dancing girls. Their entre-acte promenades must be con- fined to the front corridors and the grand staircase of the opera. Fishes’ Board Bill Is $261,023 During Year Washington, Feb. 24.
