and j. A. Furey. A large chorus of pretty
and shapely girls who can sing Is an at
tracuve feature, and an unusually excel
lent male chorus is strong one. The pro-
duction is said to be a sumptuous one, the
scenic settings gorgeous and the costum-
ing elaborate and costly. A brief outline
OF the story of Sergeant Kitty follows:
The action takes place at the village of
Montigny, where the 22d Hussars are en-
cafnped A. D. 1890 A series of military
and romantic complications present the
heroine in picturesque and effective fash
ion. Needless to say. these complications
are all smoothed out before the final cur

Virginia Earl Opera Company is under the
direction of George r. White, who presents
Sergeant Kitty in the belief that the pub
lie is growing tired of musical comedy"
and is prepared to welcome genuine, tune
full, merry comic opera.
