Salem" despite adverse criticisms by some
and complimentary ones BY others, is go
10 New York. Tie music by Mr.. Edgar
Stiilman. Kelley is more dignlied than
catchy" still there are some charming airs
in this comic opera that haunt one with
delicious tantaliZing persistency. For in
stance, Love Is Pretty Bubble" The
music translates pleasingly the same easy
rhythmic measure Of the words:
Why should you borrow trouble.
When have you and you have me;
Love pretty bubble.
Not to be blown Ger stormy sea.
Life IS before you,
l. sweet, adore you.
What can misfortune do ?
Al THIS glad world. dear
sunshine impear ed, dear,
Smiles upon me and You.
The gay little song. very wins0mely sung
by the old stage fayOrite, Louise Beaudet,
Mother Says Don't, aud | Won't" Is
another taking song.
The opera is in two acts and opens with q
chorus by the maids OF Salem, who are
most pietnresquely costumed in quaint gray
dresses aud odd little White sun0onnetS and
white stiff neckerchiefs.
The setting of the scene is the bleak New
Eng and village of Salem.
ne character of the WITCH who is to be
put 10 death by general acciamation of the
nNids OF Salem and by the desire of the
Chief Justice of Salem, whom she has re-
fused to MARY seventeen times, is taken by
Louise Beaudet, and her deliverer, Vivian
George Trevelyan, Earl of BarrenIands, is
acted by Pauline Hail. whose fresh: mag
netic personality carries the character with
a dash.
The witch fnder-general, an historical
character. IS represented by Fred Solomon,
who is irresisiibly absurd. The whole
thing is trayesty, of course, upon the fads
and folles Of society, business and politics.
The lbretto is by c. NJ. S. Mcclellan. II
