Would Cut Singers' Salaries,

Walter Damrosch and Maurice Grau are arguing as to the best way of managing grand opera companies. The former urges that the theaters are too big, to which Mr. Grau retorts with smaller houses it would be impossible to pay salaries and expenses. To this Damrosch replies: “Reduce the capacity of the theater and cut salaries proportionately." He has no fear of singers refusing to accept the smaller compensation.
