: Morning Critics on 1.-THE Toreador."

Jefferson de Angels opened at the Met
ropolitan last night in another Of the in
terminable series Of musical comedies, this
one being yclept 1.-THE Toreador.'' 1t will
be reviewed in this column Tomorrow
Meanwhile, here is what the Minneapolis
Times thinks of it: .~<,.: -
o musical comedy, musical comedy how many
crimes are committed in thy name! Sometimes
we have the comedy without the music and at
intervals the music without the comedy-and
anon we have bastard affair that can lay
claim to neither music nor comedy-at least, not
to any alarming extent. - 80
In 1.-The :Toreador,' with Jefferson De Angels
in the foreground, we find nothing and moth
Ing to please our jaded palates. There are no
new songs that appeal as either tuneful or beau
tiful The Toreadors Song'' is the only one
with a lingering quality, and it is done to DEATH
AS to- the comedy, that is supplied by the
horse play Of De Angels, who INDUCES in
species Of fun-making calculated to appeal to a
minor portion of the audience. His old fault
reasserted itself on two notable instances in
speeches of double entendre so bald as to be
inexcusably coarse. There are no witty lines
in the libretto. ~,
Even the complaisant Tribune, which
praises everything unfortunately, is a
little shocked at de Angels. 1t says:
The chief objections to 1.-THE Toreador'' are
that sufficiently good part is not furnished
Mr.. De Angels who be mighty clever
are introduced. : -" = ee'

not know even how tos burn water
