and very creditable one indeed. Some
pretty and catchy though featherweight
melodies have been contributed by NAL
colin Douglas. Tho costuming, drills and
stage setting were all that could be de-
sired. Mr.. Cox's libretto is not startling
ly funny, and the Brownies, being grown

Of these quaint little creatures of the

fully apportioned between dialogue, mu
sic and marches that it never drags for q
moment There is little story, too,
winding feebly but agreeably through the
performance. 1t has to do with the war
between the bad Dragonfel and the good
Brownies. OF course the latter triumph
in tho end, but the means Is rather unique
for an entertainment Of this sort, Dragon
fel being blown into smithereens by dy-
Mantle bomb thrown by the Russian
Brownie. Altogether Palmer Cox's Brown
les make an acceptable entertainment.
The cast is competent, if not phenome-
nal, the best work being done by charm

piquant actress, is an excellent singer.

the praise no more than he deserves, he
has some modesty, and this prompts him
