OPERA or rather extravaganza, was pro-
duced for the first time at New Haven,
Conn, last night, and, according to dis
patches, scored a distinct success. The
music is in a lighter vein than Mr.. Sousa
usually writes; the book, by Glen Mac
Donnough, is said to be good, and the piece
is splendidly mounted. A characteristic
Sousa march, entitled THE Man Behind
the Cum" makes a rousing curtain for the
ending of the second act. Edna Wallace
Hopper as Chris and Jerome Sykes as the
Genii are well cast and scored Big hits.
The company has a contingent of remark
ably pretty girls, and the voice quality of
the chorus was unusually satisfactory. 1t
