first time in seven years. The patrons OF
this house will remember the big hit made
by Arthur Messmer in his song "fhe Tryst-

curaey claimed for the incidents forming
the libretto of this opera; but the real life
and experiences of tile heroine, who gives
the piece a name, is one of the most inter-
ing side lights in the history Of the English
stage. Nell Gwyn is claimed by Hereford
shire people. In Hereford City mean
