several of the familiar airs and comical situations
were particularly noticeable For instance the
beautiful solo sung by ErIn9fhe I'm the prison
sCeue Where Art Thou Now, My Beloved has
been replaced by "Comc TO Me Quickly, Ny Dur-

with its predecessor Ihe trial scene also has been
changed to noadyontage, The company Is equally
ns strong as before. Miss Louise Scdlle made Il
charming GGbriR and fully justified her previous
reputation as an artist and vocalist of high merit.
Miss Ncrnona JarbcGu, the Nclp ECdHgtlis, pos
scsses well cultivated comlIaito voice, as well as
