La CigaIe ct la Fourmi,

The fable by Jean de la Fontaine. that forms
the basis Of the charming light opera in
which Miss Lillian Russell appears, is one
of the best of the great number written by
tie famous French fabulist. 1t is a lesson
on prudence and foresighi-rather an odd
basis for light opera. it must be confessed
but the librsttist of LA Cigale" has
made excellent use Of the waters drawn
from a pure fountain; there are no words
spoken or sung that can offend the most
fastidious. Following 1.-THE Grasshopper
and the Ant fable, he describes how the
human cicala sang all summer and gayIy
changed his place as the mood suited him,
and how he was not, like the sober and in
dustrious human ant, provided with the
necessarIes of life when the winter season
came on.
