next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evening and Wednesday matinee has been
modestly termsd by ihe managers OF the
Casino musical offering, but that is
rather a vague title for 1t, as in many re-
spects it rises 10 the dignity OF light
opera and pretty good opera at that.
The music is entirely new by Gustave
Kerker. and the libretto. which was
originally by the English writer, George
Dance. has been thoroughly overhauled
and Americanized until not n vestige of
its former self may lie recognized. "The
Lady slavey" ran through the entire sea-
son at the Avenue Theater, London. The
story OF the piece is ingenious and divert
ing, and just coherent enough to hold to-
gether the host OF clever songs and say
ings which make up the production.
IL is described as very Ingenious and di.
