evonips and created sensation, scor-
inn the most pronounced and emphatic
hit made in New York in many years
by production of this character. The
following are opinions expressed by the
metropolitan critics:
TcleRraph "The Free Lance" a
distinct success last night at the New
Amsterdam
World. "The Free Lance is an
amusing opera well mounted and care
fully rehearsed.
Daily News: There were stirring
marches and pretty melodies, as few
can write like the "March King"
Herald: "The Free Lance" is real
comic opera, tuneful and humorous,
without the slapstick methods too fa
miliar TO Broadway.
Times: The lines of "The Free
Lanee'' are full of chuckles, the cos
TUNES are pretty, the music has the
characteristic Sousa touch and go--and
something more.
Evening Telegram: The story is
more closely knit than has been the
fashion of late years in stage concoc-
tions Of this sort. 1t is prettily sung
and we'll acted.
Evening Globe: The lines are really

by the composer himself.
Commercial: There was more in the
piece than the triumvirate of comic
opera virtues. The first act is one of
the nearest approaches to real opera
we have had this season, and the sec
ond is full of genuine fun.
Evening Mail: "The Free Lance"
