 FACT: When Robert goes to the opera to see  Richard Strauss (I) (qv)s "Salome," the final bars of the operas  music are heard, and the next scene is Robert in the lobby, about to  be approached by Father Brennan. Soon after, the house lights began  flashing to indicate that intermission is over. "Salome" is a one  act opera, no intermission is given.
