Compared to this second design, the fantastic curtain revel-in fact the whole Chicago opera organization-becomes no more than Punch-&-Judy. Yet it is Punch-&-Judy on the very largest scale. To make the scale larger, the Chicago company is sent, in the Insull manner, all over the country on tours; not special engagements in a few big cultural capitals like Baltimore, Washington, Atlanta and Cleveland where Otto Hermann Kahn's Metropolitan goes; but country-wide expeditions-Boston, Buffalo, Columbus, Nashville, Birmingham, Jackson, Dallas. San Antonio, El Paso, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Fresno, Sacramento, Oakland. Amarillo, Tulsa, Lincoln...
