ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion Thenter.

1.-THE Singing Girl the opera which
last season by the Alice Nielsen Opera
company, will be given by that splen-
did organization tonight at the Hy-
perion. The libretto of THE Singing
Girl" pertains to the early part of this
century and the scene Is laid in upper
Austria, thereby providing opportunity
for richness Of costun1ing and pictur-
esoueness of scenery. The plot hinges
on the eccentric law making of the
feudal Duke Of Linz, who passes a law
which requires that a license snall Dc
obtained before people may make love.
The license Is good for six months only;
at the expiration Of which time the
holders Of it must either marry, give
grounds for not marrying, or be incar-
cerated in the local Bastile People
who spoon without license are
dragged before the court ana married
instanter, or else put In a cell. the re-
suit of this attempt to tie the wings
of Cupid Is naturally peculiar, and, OF
course, develops many humorous incl
dents, actions and situations. The CEN
trail idea of the plot IS tersely told IN
one of the verses which Harry B. Smith
has given Joseph Cawthorn, who repre-
sents the minister Of police. 1t goes as
follows:
Allow ME to inform you with a proper
sort Of gravity,
I'm functionary, powerful and
high,
Notorious for enn1ity to crime and to
depravity,
On which keep supervising eye.
I execute the Just and mighty laws OF
this community
The principal Of which is simply this:
You have to have license to make
love here with impunity
And get a signed permit for every
kiss.
