THE DAINTIEST COMIC OPERA
DOLLY WARDEN" A GEM OF
SWEET MUSIC
And Colonial Costumes, Well Re
ceived At The Local
Theatre.

The daintiest, sweetest and prettiest
comic opera with the singers wearing
the graceful costumes of colonial days,
was admirably presented at the Colo
nial Theatre last night TO q large and
fashionable audience.
1t seems a misnomer to call dolly
Warden q comic opera, so many hav-
ing been written and spoiled because of
the introduction into them of coarse
characters, wholly foreign to the
atmosphere created. +. O. Whitney's
presentation OF Stanislaus Strange's
aud Julian Edwards dolly Warden"
is just as it has been represented.
dainty piece of china painting. Funny
it is, to be sure, but the fun is of the
refined sort and is woven about the
grotesqueness of the would-be wit,
Lord Gayspark, London exquisite,
who thinks he is funny. and about
t ne coquetry and bewitching duplicity
of dolly Warden" Miss Maud Hol-
lins. who attempts to deceive her guar
dian.
In the original cast Lula CHASER was
in the title role, but Miss Hollins is a
fit successor for the principal female
role At last nights performance her
success with the audience was instan-
IOcSGSHCu
remarkably sweet and sympathetic
voice, but also of radiant personal
ity. She captured the audience at the
start and proved herself a prime ia
vorite. The dainty little opera opens
to the sweet. seductive music of
Swing, Swing, My Pretty One
SWING with the stage a veritable
sunny, fiowery garden with a dozen
pretty maidens wearing quaint and
graceful costumes OF those old colo
niai days endeared TO all in this quaint
old town. The initial number i'm
mediately won its way into the hearts
of the Annapolis audience, and they
settled themselves back in their seats,
knowing there was an ambitious comic
opera before them and they meant to,
and did, enjoy it.
The piece is filled with tuneful
solos, duets, quartets and choruses,
and is unusually musical. There are
three sopranos in the cast, which is
something unusual The voice of
Miss Mabel Day as Lucette, is ex-
quisite. In 'sLovable Love" it rang
ont clear and sweet and thrilled the
audience. Miss Anbray, as Letitia
Fairfax, was an excellent character,
and also has beautiful voice, but she
was somewhat hampered last night
by cold. The male voices were
also very good. Mr.. Tom Daniel
sang 'The Song of The Sword with
pleasing effect, and Mr.. Huff received
several encores. The opera is beau
tifully mounted The gowns of the
ladies are Of expensive fabric, of
graceful fashion. The scenic setting
of the two acts of the play is very
artistic, and it is seldom that the
comic opera stage sees such an exhibi-
tion of imposing decorations, excellent
company and glittering spectacle as
that presented in dolly Warden. !"
Mr.. Charles W. Butler, who succeeds
Mr.. Joseph Hart in the role of Gay
spark, although little shy of his lines
was good character.
Taken all in all Dolly Warden" is
the brightest, daintiest comic opera
ever presented here. 1t is humorous
without being coarse or vulgar and
may be aptly termed Dresden China

GIVES THE CITY A BLACK EYE

They Attempt To Enter The Room
of An Actress In dolly

Just at this season the police are
busy with keeping down certain set
of young men who make themselves
offensive to the show people who come
here to perform at the Colonial Thea
tre, especially the larger companies
with chorus girls. There are refined
actresses as well as refined other people,
aud these draw the line at the intru-
sions made upon their privacy by
these. would be sports.
Happily they are not Annapolis boys,
or were not last night. Two of them
attempted Co raise the windows and
get into the dressing rooms of Miss
Maud Hnllins, i'm the role of dolly
Warden in last nights cast Miss
Hollins sent for the police, and Chief
George Hahn immeditely responded.
He drove away number of fellows
congregated in the yard hack of the
theatre Chief Hahn saw two young
men raise the window in one of the
dressing rooms, but failed TO capture
the culprits, although he stood guard
at the back of the stage throughout
the entire performance after he was
called.
Manager Hollebaugh is a stand
patter inasmuch as he intends to put
down at once and forever this hanging
on of young fellows at the back and
front of the theatre. The whole police
force, headed by Chief Hahn, will
lend their aid to the theatre manage.
ment to stamp out the offensive prac-
tice number of detectives III
ssplain clothes will hereafter serve
as watchmen and the intruders will
not be dealt with leniently For the
young men to act in such a shameful
manner gives the city a black eye,
literally and tiguratively, whether
they be sojourners here or the boys OF
the town. Theysshould have enough
pride for themselves and in the town
to act at least respectable.
