Tuesday matinee. THE Algerian" is one
of the latest and most successful comic
operas. 1t Is in three acts, and by Reg
inald DeKoven. already known to fame
as musical composer by his brilliant
work In Robin Hood" and THE Fencing
Master" and Glen McDonough, a rising
young author. In his book MIR. MacDon-
ough gives credit to an incident suggested
by Alphonse Daudets "Tartarin OF raras-
con" as the ground work on which he
built his story Of the opera.
In accepting such suggestion, Mr.. Mac
Donough has awaited himself thoroughly
OF the opportunities offered him by re-
sources of French literature. and he has
Invented ,ibretto which is worthy OF the
excellent musical genius MIR DeKoven
has surrounded It with.
In THE Algerian the brilliant DeKovcn
has given many gems which are decidedly
Characteristic Of the country in which the
scenes are laid. that far-away land OF
the Orient The music is soft, sweet and
fun Of quaint chords and plaintivo minor
strains In his compositions MIR DeKoVen
has combined the skin of the musician
and the master mind OF the man.
