Labouchere on Comic Opera.

After a careful study of the subject,
Mr.. Henry Labouchere has decided
that, with the exception of the works
of Sir Arthur Sullivan, music is an un-
important factor in the success of
comic opera. "The first requisites" he
declares, "are good libretto and a clev-
performance, both of which should be
more amusing on the second night than
on the first" Mr. Labouchere deplores
the popular fallacy which holds that a
display of tinsel and shapely limbs COM
pensates for the absence of natural
humor. He states with authority that
personal beauty in the coryphees is not
an object to be considered by the man.
agement so much as good singing and
lively acting. Finally. he affirms that
while pretty ballet girls can alleviate
but not avert, the disaster of dull per-
formance, clever comedian can often
rescue dull operetta from bankruptcy
