Red Feather" goes to New York
where on November 2 a seasons en-
gagement will be inaugurated at the
Lyric tlleater.
Red Feather is essentially light
opera and the production marks re-
turn to the one time popular school Of
romantic opera. Reginald deKoven has
written some exquisite gems of music
for RED Feather and Charles Emer-
son Cook has provided some of the
most beautiful lyrics ever introduced
intosa light opera. The book by Charles
Klein Is one of the strongest ever con-
ceived by an American librettist
There has been demand for an
opera of the Queens Lace Handker-
chief" or .'Robin Hood" SAVIOR and in
"Red Feather" Mr.. deKoven, Mr..
Klein the librettist and Mr.. Cook have
come nearer to it than any other person
or trio of persons in the past decade.
A sumptuousness almost beyond
compare marks the production. F.
Ziegfeld, jr., who first attracted at
tention by reason Of the elaborateness
which marked the production in which
he presented Anna Held. has outdone
himself by the magnificence Of the RED
Feather" production. In scenic inyesti-
ture and superb costuming there has
never been a musical production made
(which may compare with it and the
success of the production scored in
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Providence
is a satisfying forerunner of success in
other engagements.
In Miss Van Studdiford Mr.. Ziegfeld
has one of the most magnetic stars
now before the American public. Her
rise has been unusually rapid and in
four years she has progressed from
choir singer to star, record to be
proud Of.
Elise deVere is a fascinating French
actress from the theater Marigny, Par
is. In the role of mile Fifne" a
French milliner, she is fitted with a
character which is ideal and the verve,
piquancy, dash and magnetism she dis
plays in her work has won her instant
