SWAN SONG OF OPERA HOUSE IS FQR4OO, TOO in Auditorium at Chicago Drops Out as Years Pass. BY EARL J. JOHNSON CHICAGO, Oct. 18.—A cross section of the musical and social background of this sprawling metropolis which is better known for its gunmen than its divas is mirrored in records of the Chicago Civic Opera Company which opens its last season in the old Auditorium. On Wacker drive, north of the loop, is rising anew “opera home,” which will be ready for occupancy next autumn.. Meanwhile the fragmentary recollections which are being indulged in by old timers among the patrons and artists at the old Auditorium fit into a colorful mosaic depicting the history of music and high society in Chicago. Rise and Fall of Fortune On the social side is the rise and decline, in fortunes or prominence, of such nationally known families as the McCormicks, Armours, Cudahys, Swifts, Insulls and the Dases.

Now ten McCormicks are on the list holding a total of eleven boxes. Ogden Armour was a box holder in 1910 and for years thereafter the big meat packer’s family were opera patrons. But wartime speculations reduced Ogden Armour to poverty. At the time of his death the name of Armour had disappeared entirely from the list of box holders. Mary Garden Like “Bambino” Michael Cudahy, pioneer meat packer, was oil the original list of patrons, but that name also has disappeared. The Insulls, the Swifts, Julius Rosenwald and Ira Nelson Morris, former minister to Sweden, still hold boxes. The Potter Palmers, one time recognized as the social arbiters of

the entire midwest, had four boxes in 1910. Today one box is held in the name of Mrs. Potter Palmer, daughter-in-law of the former dowager. The Pullmans have dropped out as box holders.

Miss Garden has come to be regarded as a perm ment fixture here. Chicagoans follow her career like the New Yorkers follow Babe Ruth’s.
