ACKNOWLEDGMENT We again acknowledge with grateful appreciation the generously donated use of the Emporium auditorium and facilities for chorus rehearsals this year which meant both a great convenience and a substantial saving to the Opera Company.
We also desire to express our deep gratitude to Miss Alice Hager for her splendid gift of French period furniture. SAN FRANCISCO OPERA ASSOCIATION
