In lights, in ne ting, in acoustic effects, the produc- tion was peerlens. The audience came supremely ex- | pectant of de luxe entertainment. |For an hour before the first limpid | strains of piccolo and violins of the stupendous 70-plece orchestra, di- rected by Giorgio Polacco, soared from the orchestra pit, the crowds filed thru the entrance. A small army of well-trained ush- ers seated them with courtesy and dispatch. And at 8:15 a truly repre. sentative 0 fence had] gathered, ALL CLASSES ARE GRAND OPERA FANS From all-walks of life they,came. The shop girl, the student, the dowagers resplendent in jewels, coif- fures and white bosoms; the artists | and musicians, the workers, the | business men, the financiérs, the | newsboys—all who rove opera are| kin on such occasions, tho some! appear in evening dress and somo | in the “Sunday best* from the ready-to-wear shops, And in ono rection of the audi-| torium wag gathered a large num- ber of Russians from the local refu- gee colony, to witness the triumph of their late compatriot in this new land of plenty and happiness. All of the first scene is devoted to Challapin’s introduction of Mefis- tofele. He strides to the center of | the stage, a human knave who} pierces the vaulted domes with an imperialistic eye. A roar of applause greeted his ap- pearance. When the curtain cropped at tho end of the first scene, again and again he was recalled by |tumultuous appreciation and ap. plause. Challapin more than filled wishes of the audience. He over- whelmed his listeners. And in turn, the other stars of the performance, Edith Mason, silver-voiced “Margue- rita’; Angelo Minghetti as “Faust”: na Sharrow as “Helen of Tro: the dancers, all received warm. ing ovations. ANCIAL SUCC PEARS ASSURED Financial success of the venture seemed assured by the manner in which the first night audience re. ceived the distinguished visitors, The departinig crowd was busy scanning the Arena to select more favorable 8 and the advance sale to “The Jewess,” to be presented Friday night with Rosa Raisa in the lead role, also is encouraging.
