The Met admittedly had not banished publicity and vanity, and this 68th "opening night had plenty of both. But it was generally conceded that while the crowd was as big md the boxoffice receipts bigger ban ever, this was one of the opening nights ta memory. The audience enthusiastically applauded the production of Verdi's Forza del Destino," which starred tenor Richard Tucker and soprano Zinka Milanov. Mrs. Betty Henderson, who once brought the whole publicity-versus- culture situation to a head by agreeing- to pose for photographers with her leg on a table, was all propriety.

The oil-and-railroads widow, recovering from a stroke, said she would not miss an opening night until they "carry me out on stretcher." She is now ta her 70s.

Her companion, young John Talbot livened the fashion scene with his bright blue satin lapels that matched the gown worn by Mrs.

Henderson. A former night club singer, Mrs. Walter Bedford Sharp whose husband is from Texas and said to be in oil, was glamorous in black satin with a white fox stole. And the most glamorous part of her costume to the opening-night audience was the fact that tight- fitting ankle-length black satin pants showed plainly under a skirt split from waist to hem. Opera stagers like Marguerite 'iazza, Roberta Peters, Jean Ma- eira Nadtae Conner and Dorothy Xirsten brightened the parade irough the "carriage-trade" entrance with their dramatic flair or fashion.
