JOHN" KISE45 rcies- HEKPEY JACKSOTT MSS'. POST. J.tOWfcY NEW OPERA HOUSE PLANNED productions in New York. It is the gossip that this new building has been contemplated for a number of • ,he famous one years, but that the late J. Pierpont rhich’now hou P ses the Metropolitan's Morgan was largely responsible for Gossip in advance of the coming of ■ he Metropolitan company is to the effect that a new opera house is to t.. hullt to replace the famous pile be bum lu , _.f \fi»troDolitan s w the company retaining the present house as long as it has. For a long time it has been realized that the present location is not entirely suit able to existing demands of opera giving, but Mr. Morgan is said to have had a “sentimental feeling to ward the old house,” and much as others who are prominent in matters operatic in New York may have wished for a cnange of locality they deferred to Mr. Morgan’s wishes. “As long as Mr. Morgan lives, the Metro politan will not move,” said one of the directors of the institution while in Atlanta last season. A TLANTA’S social season reaches a grand climax with the week of grand opera. Since the Met ropolitan Opera Company has been paying an annual spring visit here the entire social season* has undergone a change. The list of spring weddings, a former feature of the early spring, has been curtailed, and the June bride list lengthened, because of the opera and its brilliant festivity. Vi«_ ltors from all parts of the South time their visits for opera week, instead of coming while the Nine O’clock Ger man Club, the Cotillion Club and oth er prominent social organizations are active in society. The week is one continuous per formance for the social world. The opera is followed by brilliant gath erings at the Piedmont Driving and the Capital City Clubs each night, these affairs lasting far into the morning. The supper parties are pro longed with toasts, songs and so forth, and after all that, the com* pany, following the dance craze of the year, will do the Tango and the Turkey Trot for an hour or more. The calendar for the week Is -full enough to arouse tremors in the heart of the most frivolous and tireless of the society women, and the list of visitors grows every day with records of the coming of prominent women and belles of the social contingent in cities all over the South. Even from New York, Baltimore and Chicago visitors are coming for the week—• not that they tare especially for the grand opera, which they hear at home, but for the social features of the oc casion which make it unique in the city. A MONG the prominent visitors to be iji the city next week are: General and Mrs. Albert L. Mills, guests of Mr. and Mrs. Clark Howell.
