Burt, 1904 and the music, with the exception of a few special pieces, by K. s. Clark, 1905. IThe story of the play is especially inter- testing and interspersed with bits of hu- nor that attract and please the most critieising theatre-goers. The setting of the comedy is in the South American republic of Rio in the gardens of the
 president of the country, MT. Telfair lThe United States minister to Rio de- sires a concession of certain canal rights whereby he hopes to obtain both | financial prosperity and diplomatic suc- cess.
