No one who has watched the Castle
Square repertoire closely viii be disap-
oointec at the promise of this week. After
having had six days OF the "Mikado'' but
one thing was left for the light musical
heart to pine for, and that same was der
MaIesty's Ship, Pinafore," or, briefly,
"H NJ. s. PinafoIe." And agreeable
TO the suggestion launched forth in these
columns while the "Mikado' memory
was fresh with us, the management nave
decided to put on "P nafole" and Cav
alleria Rusticana."
It's no effort to be pleased at this little
compliment paid The Times suggestion
We couldn't help being pleased at this
prospect, even if we tried. The week

will, of course, be played first After we
have had the sentimental crossings OF
Ralph and Josephine, and the comical self

and Santuzza. a treat, indeed.
Some may ask, Why not put 'Cavaiieria'
first and send us home in good humor?
Easily answered, that Consider the mll-
sical integrity of the two works. The Sulli-
van music is OF itself and by itself the very
acme of tingiing melody and iingling tune
and quite Irresistible But by itself! Mas
cagni's music, on the contrary, is heavy
and majestic, elevating and inspiring. Sui
Ivan is all right before Mascagni After
an hour and half of the Italian, however,
the English score would sound thin as
twice SKINNED milk. No one cares TO hear
an hour of piano soloing after an hour of
grand orchestra. The piano is all right
