THE HIGHWAYMAN.

While 1t may not be generally admitted
that The Highwayman" is the best effort
Of MesSrs. Reginald De Koven and Harry
B. Smith, those who composed the very
large audience at the opera house last
evening will agree that those clever COM
posers of comic opera have produced in
their latest effort something which, when
entrusted to good keeping, furnishes an
excellent entertainment.
Messrs. De Koven and Smith have set
an old and popular story of the Irish
liighwaymun to some very pretty music.
Little depends on the plot and everything
on the ability of the artists to unsteady
interpret the parts allotted to them. In
the selection of the people to carry out the
desires of the composer in that respect,
the management have been singularly for
tunate. There lie not n weak member in
the cast either from musical or dramat-
ic point Of view. The same Is true of the
comedy work Of the opera. No one could
go away from the theatre after hearing
Jerome Sykes in the extremely funny part
Of Constable CUTLER without remembering
some of his funny sayings. Camille d Ar
vile IL an old burlington favorite, and
has been seen here in many productions,
so that she had record of n high order
to maintain. As Lady Constance. she gave
a pleasing rendition of the lover of Cap
tain Scarlet (Joseph O'Mara), the High
wayman Her vocal efforts. as usual, were
most enjoyable. Mr.. OMaras sweet ten
or was heard to advantage, and his open
ing song, THE Kings Highway" will not
soon be forgotten by those who were for
tunate enough to hear it. Maud Williams
made a handsome Lady Pamela and sang
well Nellie Braggins as Dolly Primrose
and John Mayor as Toby, her zero. were
q very clever little pair and with Mr..
Sykes kept the audience in good humor.
The less conspicuous parts We're all in
the hands OF capable people while the
chorus work was OF an unusually high or
der. The scenic effects Were elaborate,
and the costumes, if not gorgeous. were
entirely in keeping with the story.
The closing chorus was, as is usual with
Burlington audiences, spoiled for many
by the confusion made by those who were
unwilling to wait until the curtain fell
before making n break for the street
thereby saving possibly five minutes OF
roO or lass aluahla

soUsA TO LOSE $4,000 A YEAR.
Must Sh are Earnings From His Compost
tions with the BIakely Estate.

John Philip Sousa, the March King"
must share his earnings from published
compositions with the Blakely estate. This
is the decision of the referee in suit
brought by the estate
In 1892, d. Blakely of Bradford. VT,
made a five years contract with Sousa
which provided that Blakely as manager
should share equally with Sousa the pro-
fits of all the latter's compositions as well
as of the band concerts.
In 1896 the contract was renewed for
three years. Two months after this re-
newal Blakcly died and Sousa claimed
that his death terminated the contract.
Suit was brought by the estate.
The referee decides that the contract in
as far as it covered concerts was annullei
but that the Blakely estate had a con-
tinued right to one-half of all the royal
ties from the compositions as long as they
should be earned without respect of time.
Tho amount involved may reach "a
much as $1,000 a year. Tho matter will
be appealed to a higher court.
