which Ludwig Englander and Harry B smith had in mind when they wrote the musical version of Charles Majors fla nous novel And such delightful music as if was. There were half dozen airs to be remembered and thought over and delighted in and echoed. Most of these were sung in a manner more than satis- factory. for the soloists were quite equal to their pleasant task, and the chorus was well trained and attractive.
 Ut goes without saving that Miss Brandt's numbers were enthusiastically received. Her voice is as powerful as it is pleasing. Every note is full and round and perfect and she sings with lack of apparent effort as welcome as it is rare. It is impossible not to feel that this venture of hers in light opera is merely by way of preface to a promising career in grand opera.
