stitute the basic foundation for the great
success he has achieved with this pro-
duction.
Red Feather" is essentially a light
opera. II marks a return TO the successes
of other days when such works as The
Queens Lace Handkerchief. and that
most fascinating Of all American light
operas, Robin Hood" were in vogue The
press OF Baltimore and Philadelphia have
been as unit In declaring Red Feather
better than Robin Hood, and Reginald de
Kovens whose greatest previous effort
was Robin Hood" says himself that
"Red Feather" is superior to the other
success.
More than " months ago Mr. de Koven
and Mr. Ziegfeld began preparations for
this presentation. The thought uppermost
I'm the minds OF both boys and the hope
most found in their hearts was 10 make a
comic opera production which would out
shine amy previous effort and the un-
qualified success the production has at
tained Is a sufficient demonstration that
o they have builded we'll. The scenic ia
vcstment of RED Feather Is gorgeous
beyond compare. while the costuming Is
the most exquisite and elaborate over seen
ON any stage.
I'm the company Mr. Ziegfed has been
unusually fortunate. MISS Van Studdi-
ford, the star is undoubtedly one or
ono OF the most pleasing singers on the
American stage she won her first VIC
tory four years ago. when she made her
stage debut and the success she has
scored by her artistic rendition of the
numerous lyrics allotted her have won
her an added success which might mako
