ENTERTAIN ENTS.



a name that stands for contagious
merriment. He is a fun maker from
the beginning of the evening unto the
end thereof. Moreover his fun is al
ways within the boundaries Of good
taste. He work in 1.-THE Ameer" is
strictly of fun producing order. I'm
like some of his colleagues Frank Dan
iels has no wish to stray from his path
of mirth to venture into serious thor
oughfares. With him it is "let me
make the laughter of the world care
| not who makes the tears" And so in
1.-THE Amer" Frank Daniels will be
seen in his well known character of a
manufacturer of mirth. His new comic
opera Is the work of Victor Herbert,
| the distinguished composer, and Lib
rettists Kirke la Shelle and Frederic
Ranken. 1t is the voice of those who
have heard the opera that Victor Her
Der has never written such pretty mu-
els. There are songs for all of the
principals and several of topical char
| acter for Frank Daniels. The choruses
are described as very melodious and
swinging; the finales are stirring a S any
ever heard on the comic opera stage.
The story is an oriental conceit. 1t
deals with the life of Afghanistan' S
ruler. 1t shows the kind of a Damocle-
sian sword he stands in daily dread Of
1t affords a living illustration of the
trials and tribulations which beset that
monarch and how he has to work over
time in an ambitious endeavor to pre-
vent others showing him off the earth.
In all this he has a support which,
report has it, is superior to any other
he has ever had. Numerically it ex-
ceeds the sixty number. In quality it
is set forth as being quite as pretty
and as well voiced as was his COM
pany of last year. Helen Redmond is
Frank Daniels prima donna. Among
the other principals, one notices the
familiar names of Kate TART, Norman
Kopp Will Danforth, and George De-
VOL, the last being the young American
tenor who made a distinct hit last sea-
son in London. The costuming and
scenic investiture of 1.-THE Ameer" are
said to be quite in keeping with the
demands of the story. The coming en-
gagement will be the only one Frank
Daniels will play here this season. Seats
