METROPOLITAN OP&NS ITS
SEASON AT THE ACADEMY
factum te "Heme" Auditorium Marked by a Remarkable Per-
fernumce of Halevy's "La Juive," With Stellar Cast,
Given Before Brilliant Audience k
.A iTKU im absence ef.'ttn years the
A Metropolitan Opera Ce. opened ity
1020-21 Masen slth n stellar perform,
unce of Halcvy'H opera. "La Juty," in
the Academy of Music, Its; ordinal
Philadelphia home and an edifice which
Is probably richer In operatle and mu
lcal hUtery and tradition than any
ether public building in the United
ittatei. The rwult was two-feld: In
lhe first place the audience was one of
(he jargeit and most brilliant that has
ever greeted an operatic presentation In
l'lilladeiphla ; in the necend, the com
pany, apparently Inspired by the Ira
jnense and enthusiastic audience, tave
one of the" best and rnest spirited per
formances that It has ever presented
Jierc.
Ivery seat in the beuse, had been
Beld long before the day of the per
formance, and had .standing been per
mitted there Is little doubt thnt the
irend would have overflowed faryinte
the nlMw, for many were turned away
at the doers, The remodeled Academy
bud one, of thp great days of its career
for the, opening of the current seatted of
the Metropolitan Opera Ce. Iletween
the uets thfe' audience visited the beau
tiful foyer, which presented a scene like
that of an ultra fashionable reception,
cr.yalkcd In-the tastefully decorated ro
tunda behind the balcony.
An "Intimate" Performance
One of the principal advantages et
the academy Is in the far mere intimate
iiAturee the relations' of the company
and .(he audience. The work et recon recen recon
ducteon done en the building, snowed
that the changes made, such as the
cutting off of the stage "apwn" has
many adantiges without any apparent
disadvantages. The acoustics of. tne
wonderful old building have net been
affected In any manner br the changes
and they remain as faultless for the
opera as experience has shown them te
be for the Philadelphia Orchestra. The
removal of the apron has allowed the
large orchestra of tnc .Metropolitan
Opera Ce. te be (.eated well bttew the
stage level and yet without encroach
ing upon the seating capacity of the
house as was the case years age, when
an augmented orchestra was used. On
the ether hand, the less In stage rMm
iti net noticeable.
Hut the main difference was in the
tittltmle of the audience, net only to
ward the performance, but also In itself,
n must be the case in a house in which
access te practically all parts is is easy
a In the Academy. There was an in
definable feeling that the audience was
taking a part a little mere sympathetic
than that of mere spectators or hearers,
ai was evidenced by the extremely close
attention paid te every note of the
epcrn, and this cordial attitude had an
apparent effect upon nil the members
of the company.
Indeed, the attcntiveness of the huge
crowd was mere like that of a symphony
(enccrt than of un opera, which, ac
cording te American tradition, is per
Jupt n little mere than semlseclnl and
a little less than Remlmusleal. Last
inning s nndlence went far te disprove
thlH statement. During the various
aetMlierc was net a sound te be heard
In the sudden pauses In the music, and
therefore It is safe te say that net a
sound was made, for the acoustics of
the Academy are just en geed from the
audience as from the stage, and a few
words spoken in a low tone can carry a
disconcertingly long distance.
A Netable Rendition
Hut if Philadelphia put "its beat feet
forward" n the audience both in num
ber and linnrcsslvcness of personnel,
the Metropolitan Ce. responded in kind
, thr?'ier" '" "as the same that
.Mr. Oattl-Casawa chose te open the

"It is a joy te be back in the old

when he arrived yesterday te sing in

Caruso has a genuine 'sentimental
affection for the Academy of Music,

Net since the opening opera at the
Academy of Music, nearly seventy -fije
years age) when Gartanlga sang Lee-1

Trovatore" net since the night of the
ball which opened the dear old Acad
emy when a fountain of feal cologne
played in the tenter of the great dance
fleer, has that historic old home of mu
sic and art in Philadelphia housed
such a brilliant audience as that which
attended the opening opera of the sea
son last evening.
Gowns and Jewels and beautiful
women vied with Caruso, Ponselle and
the ether great singers, and wonderful
as the 'artists and the opera were, it
was difficult te say If they or the audi
ence were the victors. "
Brilliance was the keynote of the per-.
rermance, or tne gowns, or tne jewels
and the great opera house Itself, while
the rejuvenated foyer was only sub
dued by the soft amber-colored lights
which threw a golden glow ever the
gowns of the women and seemed te
bring the rich colors of the Jewels Inte
even greater radiance.
If there ever was nqy doubt as te
hew the social world In' this city would
respena te a return te the Academy,
it vaa entirely dispelled last night, for
society, with an extra large and very
capital 8, was there, nnd there fu
mase. though It was late In arriving.
In fact many df the1 boxes were empty
until nearly the end of the first cat.
There Is n hemines about the
Academy that seems typical of all Phil
adelphia, and these in the parquet and
circle, thn balcony boxes and the seats
back of them appeared te be all erie
great party. Every one knew every
one else, and between the acts the
buzz of conversation was Incessant.
Diamond and Sapphire Cellar
Mrs. Alexander Van Rensselaer were
a beautiful cellar of diamonds and
sapphires about her threat, and her
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jehn Fell, who

platinum.

Dlcklnaen Ncwbeld. had ber hair ar
ranged In an entirely new way. Acress
her forehead was drawn a full band of
rose red velvet, the exact shade of her
gown. Then her dark hair was ar
ranged out ever the cars and coiled
rather high in the back, but no tialr
showed above Uie band In front. The
CelliCjuns had Mr. and Mrs. Itlchard
Tilghmnn as their guests. Mrs. Tilgh
man looked very pretty In a black vel
vet dress made en distinctly plain lines
and with no touch of color. It was
square necked, cut rather high and had
sleevea te the elbow. She were a re
markably beautiful pair of dull geld
oriental earrings with this costume.
Adjourn te the Feyer
Between the second and third acts the
audience adjourned te the foyer en the
second fleer of the Academy which has
been made into one of the most beauti
ful ball rooms ln the country. The
crystal mirrors and chandeliers gleamed
in the golden light and the pale pure
cream and geld walls made a wonder
ful contrast between the mirror -filled
windows and doers. Palms and flowers
decorated the end of the room where
