the welcome given to his venture he had
sent out printed notices. And, after al,

him by preferring the more catching,
though think less refined attractions pro
vided by the other OOlahs down the
street The deception was trying and not
all deserved: for, though Mr.. Rosenfeld's
librettO was dull and Mr.. Wilson's COM
pany not much brighter, there was suffi-
cent melody in Lecocq's music, sufficient
piqUancy and prettiness to have justified at
least very fair success"
