THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

comedy, / want to say that there can
not be too much of it. But there is no
need to have recourse to anything
that is vulgar, or even suggestive.
My experience, which covers gener-
alton, has proved to my satisfaction
that there is plenty of good, clean,
wholesome fun in the world to supply
the demand. And it has been my
pride that, though l have had aud
fences which have shrieked with
laughter, nothing in my proVocations
of mirth has ever been found object
ionable from decencys point of view.
l don't think that a comic opera
will ever be written which will please
all the critics. But l do think that
The Ameer" is the best modern COM
ic opera that has been written. Ger
tainly the receipts and enthusiasm
show that it meets with the publics
approval. THE Ameer" is an excel
lent sample of what comic opera
should be. 1t has been found to be
strong, coherent piece of work. There
is no reason why a comic opera should
not be interesting in itself. Its story
should be strong and cumulative and
at the same time very funny, as is
The Amer" Librettists sometimes
