gar Student and The Black Hussar,"
who TO day Is the leading comic opera
composer Of the world. His music is
always that which possesses charms for
all classes and yet affords study to the
musician. One particularly happy gift
Is his great success in writing melodies
for topical songs. In THE Seven Suab-
ians' the topical song, "Wait q Little
Bit" one verse being sung by each Of
the Suabians, Is one of the greatest hits
of the opera, while "Read the Answer
In the Stars was one OF the ele-

Black Hussar' the wonderful success

and entertaining as the music is charm

slilions prevailing in Germany three
centuries ago, and affords ample op
portunlty for fun.making, which the
nine comedians Of the company never
loose sight Of, and the result Is that the
performance Is one continuous laugh.
