Sumptuous in its snrtorinl nplendor,

wealth and elegance, and glittering,
dazzling in Its display of Jeweln, the
opera season opened at the new Temple
Auditorium last night, and at the same
time was Inaugurated that huge thea
ter, the largest and most perfect In
the city.
The dual event was sufficient in it
self to mark an epoch in both theat
rical and social circles here, arid the
gathering of those favored enough to
•ecure place thereat was one of the
most representative In the city's- his
tory, and fully worthy of the signifi
cance of the event in every way.
The great auditorium Bclntlllated and
dazzled with the georgeosity of the
human bouquet that filled it. The
gathering seemed like a vast flower
garden set tier pn tier and all abloom.
It .swayed and awept as If i» g«nt!e
breeze kissed it, atid the incessant life
and movement made it iridescent and
changeful and altogether fascinating.
The house itself was like unto some
colossal Jewel box in its gilded magnifi
cence, and the throngs were like so
many pearls and diamonds, rubies and
emeralds.
White was the prevailing shade to
the eye at a glance down upon this
human kaleidoscope, but here and there
were to be picked out glimpses of hue
and color and shade, which blended
into one chromatic whole without dis
sonance.
Around and back of the fair women
and forming a perfect foil for gleam
ins shoulders and glistening gem»
were the men, solemnly black and un
wontedly white in their somber even
ing gurb. It was a picture like unto
none ever limned by the brush of the
greatest artist who ever held palette.
And when the curtain rose and the
burst of song and the glory of melody
was added, it was a vision of paradise
enhanced by life and sound. The vocai
strains of praise and splendor Deemed
the f\ttlng climax to all the rest. It
was at once opresningly momentous
and gladly grand. It was a finiile of
months of work and struggle and ex
