Xxi is pretty and tuneful, and two choruses
in the second act, one the finale and the
nther the number just preceding it, are
PARTICULARLY effective. There are also sew
'ral swingy solos and an excellent duet.
The orchestration is none too full, but
it Is very pleasing, and some particularly
telling effects are produced. All in all, of
the three operas now runningon Broadway
The Devils Deputy is much the best,
both in libretto and music, though Della
Fox in 1.-THE Little Trooper at the
Casino is probably drawing the most
money. Dc Wolf Hopper's business, too,
At the Broadway, in DIR. Syntax, - is very
heavy, and Mr.. Wilson is doing finely at
Abbey's. As these three stars of the first
magnitude, all in the same line of work
within a stones throw of each other, arc
making great deal of money SO early in
the season, 1t would seem that there is
very little ground for the oft repeated as
sertion of the pessimists that comic opera
is played out in this country.
From all sides come reports of excellent
returns from theatrical ventures, and If
che season continues as it has begun it
will go down in stage history as one CT
the most successful on record. One man.

Francis Wilson, like every actor who
has aggressive physical peculiarities, is as
ardently admired by ono set of theater GO
ers as he is snoered at by another. Each
side is firmly set in its convictions, and
therefore any discussion of Mr.. Wilson
methods is time wasted. He is now ap-
pcaring nightly with his company in J.
Cheever Goodwin and Z. Jakobowski's
comic opera, The Devils Deputy" at Alb

DO said that Tho DEVILS Deputy" is a
genuine comic opera. There is no horse
play in it and very little of Mr.. Goodwin s
slang, although any of tho vernacular in
such work is too much. The story is not
elaborate or intricate, but it is consecutive,
and that is much moro than can be said of
most librettos. The music, by Jakobow-

AS Viscount Clivebrook Mr.. John Drew
had thoroughly serious role, for which
many persons affect to believe he is I'M
suited, but which he performed like the
genuine artist that he is. His carncstness,
sincerity and polish made up perfect mo-
sale, with not the smallest bit omitted.
His work in Tho Bauble Shop" also dem
onstrated that he has not those narrow
limitations which most people are won't
to attribute to men whom they regard as
farccurs, or, at tho best, light comedians.
Mr.. Drew's stage presence is excellent and
it is to be hoped that his manager will af
ford him the opportunity hereafter to be
seen in vehicles more serious than such
frothy triilcs as 'Tho Masked Ball" Miss
Maud Adams as Jessie keber added to the
excellent reputation which she has built
upon the foundation of her dainty acting
in The Ma skcd Ball" She possesses dis
elimination and strong dramatic power.
1t is difficult to imagine how her concep-
ton of the role of Jessie Kcber could be
improved upon. This young actress rise
has been almost phenomenal in its rapid
ity and steadincss, and am one of those
who expect to find in her within the next
few years one of the most successful stars
on the American stage.
The other members of Mr.. Drew's COM
pany are thoroughly competent, the most
| notable sketch being contributed by Mr..
j. L. Dodson, for several years with the
Kendals, as the inventive but drunken
toy dealer and inventor, Matthew Keber,
who unwittingly almost ruins his daugh-
ters reputation.
