day to dwell on Sir Arthur Sullivan's skill
and charm as a creation musician or VIII
lam S. Gilbert's original humor as re-
vealed IN the many operettas in which
they elaborated. In none of them, not
excepting II. NJ. S. Pinafore," which
brought them into prominence as contrib1-
tors To tine stage, are their entertaining
qualities so happily disclosed as on THE

In THE Mikado'' interest is equally
divided between the musical setting and
the comic scheme. and because OF this
balance the operetta Is one of the most
satisfying that can be heard today. Gil
bert's book is far superior to the majority
OF operate librettos not only by means OF
his brilliant wit and delightful satire. but
also because of his skill in the drawing
of characters and his originality In ar

any to be found in the best OF modern
dramas. While admirably harmonizing
