MUSIC.


A NEW SHOW AT THE CASINO.
"show" is a better appellation for the thing
called '1999' which was brought forward at the
Casino last nigh. than comic operetta" though
that is more modest and little nearer true den-
milton than "a new comic opera" which Is what
the authors. Herman Lee Ensign and Edward
Hoist, fondy think it TO be. The piece appeals
far more TO the eye than TO the ear, and indeed
preserves the best OF the Casinos traditions In
respect OF sumptuousness OF personal and stage
attire. II book and music stood In any proportion
ate relation TO the spectacle which a combination
Of ingenuity. taste and lavish generosity have
created there would ne question OF the sue
cess Of 1883" Unhappiy, while tho promoters OF
the show have spent money like veteran theatrical
spectators, the authors have worked like ANA
teurs. The fundamental Idea OF the book had
pretty possibilities in 1t in all directions They
have worked out admirably in spectacular d.
rection. with moderate degree OF success in the
dialogue and lyrics, but at all in the music.
AT the end OF the first act disappointed audience
sat in the Casinos seats; and yet 1t was sum
ciently keyed up by the pretty stage pictures and
the fine voice and pretty art OF Miss Waltzlnger
10 have warmed into enthusiasm had half an op-
portunty been offered by either book or music.'
In tho second act decided improvement became
manifest In the intellectual department. and new
treats appeared for the eye. but, unhapp!ly. tho
construction was so loose jointed the Introduction
of irrelevant features awkwardly managed that
the interest Of tho audience could be held, and
large portion OF the audience left the theatre, pro-
nounclns perhaps the severest judgment on new
entertainment ever spoken at the Casino.
1t was much severer criticism that was de'
served. The second act Of 1899 can redeem the
piece IL the first be thoroughly overhsued. for
there are some skill and some taste In the words
a good-enough conceit In the plot (abeit much
harmed by bungling and preachy presentatoh''
and more downright good singing than any OF our
operetta companies can offer with the possible
exception OF the BOstonans The best OF 1t is Done
by Miss Wal;zinger and Hugh Chilvers. The lat
ter as the Prince of Mars. awakened suggestions
OF the ambitious youth who received the veterans
advice 20 bear in mind that It Is fourteen miles from
Schenectady TO Troy when first he strobe upon
the stage but his heroics were soon forgotten
after he began TO sing. for he has really superb
voice of that manly kind which lies between barry
tone and tenor. and he sings finely. Other people
OF the company. wholly worthy OF the best knd
OF work. are Ferris Hartman and Nine Cotrely.
who carry the principal comedy element OF the
piece and the members OF the chorus look ano
sing well. "l999' deserves to be taken in hand by
men experienced and clever and put into winning
shane.
