Fl NIB smith night at the National last NIGHT and
the "Merrv Monarch" for the nonce bowed
subject to "A Tale OF Woe" but the merry
monarch didn't care for that. He was looking
for a grief. anyhow. and in Hubs oration he
found one which. like ali Others he enioyed 40
intensely that they became Gigantic Tags of
ioy'' and he had to be merry in order 70 be sor-
rowful. The orchestra chairs were knee deep
in Columbia Club men to give their Hub a wall
or two. and they did it with n wild, tempestuous
thirty seven oyster shelters peaIing thun-
der OH a tin roof, or words to that
effect. The audience took il M, of
course, and slapped the echoes fore
and aft and sidewise and perpendicularly,
and every body on the stage got il as zach one
came out, with q rcsounding and exuberant
swat for Francis Wilson and I2xl6 ovation to
Marie Jansen. Everybo was star last nj ht,
and if the bass fiddler however bass he may
be, had risen and asked for toot he would
have gotten it, even il nobody but the from
bone player would have given it to him. That's
because the audience was onq rapport aud foot
and scramble. As an opera The Merry Mon
arch is of course a Wilsonic success. with a
great many passages in its libretto which sound
as If Bill Nye had written them. The music IL
so SO; some Of it very pretty and sweet and soft
and melodic and iuslnuating. and some of IL
hard enough to break with a hammer. The
house was fuller than any man in it had ever
seen in his life. As before stated. it was Hub
Smith night, and Hubs part was not the star
part either, but it was beautiful to look at. The
other scenery of the play is exquisite in tints
and shades and il music in itself. Again to-
night
