love tale in an occidental setting. That 1t

artistic advantage is obvious to those who

delightful Interpretation of the quaint in
genuousness and artless coquetry observ-
able in the little maids of the mikado's

pr oducton that is lavishly accurate in its
details The story concerns Chicka San,
who becomes the wife of an American SEN
ator. who transplants her to his home in
Washington and whose method of Ameri-
canizing her is said to furnish comedy OF
the most charming character. Miss Ber-

Columbia Theater.

Woodland is the name of the latest
comic opera by Pixley and Luders. 1t is Il
production by Henry w. Savage, and will
be seen for the first time in Washington at
the Columbia Theater on Monday The
idea of melody is always associated with
birds so in ruilding an opera in which the
characters are all members of the feath-
cred tribe it may be imagined that some
happy results have been worked out of the
notion of placing birds on the stage to
sing. But while the lark, the nightingale,
the canary and the r1ockingbird suggest
music, and they are all in Woodland"
there are other feathered creatures, such

as the raven, the parrot, the owl and the
rooster, not one OF whom is especially
noted for musical endowments, but all of
whom can be utilized for funmaking pur-
poses. These are also characters in Wood
land and as there are no human beings
in the piece it may be imagined that a
quaint, merry. melodious performance is
given by the deniZens of birdIand.
The scene of the first act is King Eagles
royal court in the forest, and the time is
just before sunrise. The birds all assem-
BILE for a morning concert, and are chided
by Judge Owl for being late. From this
point the plot is developed. King Eagle
has sent for his son, Prince Eagle to re-
turn from college, accept the appointment
and marry his cousin, Lady Hawk. The
prince, who is in love with Miss Nightin-
gale, rebels at his fathers command to
take a wife distasteful to him, and is BAN
ished. The old king is accidentally killed
shortly afterward, and an election to fill
his vacant throne is held, at which the ra-
ven, the OWL the rooster and the jaybird
are candidates. The latter votes for him
self and is chosen king. But his rule is
very tempestuous and unsatisfactory one
to his virtuOus subjects. In very short
time a revolution is started by the robin,
who sends the dove TO bring back Prince
Eagle The Jaybird is dethroned, Prince
Eagle becomes the ruler. marries Miss
Nightingale and sends the Jaybird into
exile, permitting him to eSpouse the Wren
and take her with him.
Mr.. Savage has given to the piece the rich
and tasteful scenic investment for which
he is Justly noted in the comic opera field.

dams are well known in comic opera. They
number Harry Bulger, Frank Doane, Stan
