sent FRITZ Scheff In the comic opera by
Henry Blossom and Victor Herbert,
Mile Modiste.r This performance drew
audiences which tested the capacity Of
the theater in nearly every city where

evident local music and fun-lOvers are

The book, by Henry Blossom, in story
lyrics, and dialogue, Is ranked among the
brightest that has been done since the
days Of w. S Gilbert The music of
Victor Herbert has established him as
among the best of American light opera
composers.
As for Miss Scheff. she is almost in a
class by herself. She is young. pretty.
and charming, and a singer who ranks
high among prima dOnnas
With such star and such a play most
managers would usually consider that
they had sufficient material TO please any
audience. but Charles Dillingham; has Civ
en- Miss Scheff a support and Mile Mo-
diste' a production entirely in keeping
with the high standard he has always
maintained under his name, both for ex-

Perctval, Howard Chambers, Josephine
Bartlett Edna Fassett, Blanche Morrison,
Leo Mars. and Claude Gillingwater, and
