operatic comedy. Miss Simplicity" The
book is by r. A. Barnet, the music by
H. l.. Hearth, additional numbers by f..
w. Corliss and Clifton Crawford,
The new musical work has a plot of
the old reliable kind wherein one person
exchanges his clothes TO represent an
other.
This is become an established institu-
tion as a theme i'm operatic work.
In Miss Simplicity however. the
me-honored device IL much intensified
since no less than five persons thus dis
guise themselves.
The lady OF quality masqueradlng as a
peasant because she does not want to

girl is glad TO change clothes with her
because she, herself. is bent on marrying
a king. The king, himself, falling In
love with the lady of quality as disguised
as a peasant girl. forthwith Disgusting
himself as peasant so as to be with her,
and set up his valet i'm his place az king.
And be IL said that luxurious as Miss

of opera than the plot, great deal OF
entertainment is ingeniously developed
from this liberal exchange of personages.

The rest of the show besides Mr..

few fun makers would care TO assume the
task Of being paramount in. The splen-

talent.
There was a bunch OF comedians who

In all this show and spectacle and all

OF consummate art.
The secret OF the art evidently lies In
his appreciation OF the value OF small
things as a store OF fun and Of the eie-

ways acknowledge their obligation TO.
