She has been a Met prima donna since 1940 until this season when the Met did not renew hei; contract. The one other big musical name among the 24 leading volunteers is that of the 84-year-old conductor, Leopold Stokowski.

You can have one of the world's most famous opera houses renamed in your honor. Imagine the Yodel Opera House! But the same opportunity is open if your name is Brown or Smith or whatever, provided you contribute those millions. At present the opera house has no name even though Just about all the operatic greats after 1880 sang on its stage.

It used to be the Metropolitan Opera but nowjhe Metropolitan Opera is in its new house. The ex-Met is empty and the wreckers' scaffolding is around it. Only litigation stays the wreckers temporarily, and unless a volunteer citizens' "save the old Met" group succeeds in raising at least $8 million within the next few months' it will be replaced by an office building.

Aside from the old and the new Met. New York "has no theater with a really large stage and more than 3,000 -salable -seats and to build a new-one would cost much more than the cost of "saving the old 1 Met," Gimma said. Little Enthusiasm So far his- enterprise has created no large local enthusiasm and it has been irritating to the Met which expects an annual income of some $400,000 from the real estate syndicate to which it leased the block-square site on Broadway two AUCTION Hospital Visit GATLINBURG, Tenn.
