31. Chicago Grand Opera Season Opens Tonight Changes In Store For Patrons Making First Visit. Chicago AP Grand opera comes back to Chicago tonight for a five-weeks stand in the marble palace the fugitive Samuel Insull built for it in the hey day of his reign as a utilities czar. But. those who attend the debut of the Chicago Opera company, made possible by the efforts of George Woodruff, president, and the late George Lytton who with Paul Longone, general director of the company, started the work of organization four months ago, have a few surprises in store for them.

In the first place the seat sale runs from 50 cents to $3, instead of $1 to $6 as in the days of the Insull regime. The orchestra will be seen as well as heard due to the raising of the floor of the pit about four feet. Last, but most important of all to society, five rows of seats in the center of the main floor have been removed and 10 boxes installed, so that those who attend to see and be seen may be happy. For the opening night the opera "La Tosca" was chosen for presentation with the world famed soprano, Maria Jeritza, as the star. Five Hurt in Crash At Mulberry Grove By Staff Correspondent.
