"The Free Lance.u

That Mr.. John Philip Sousa has
not lost his knack of writing stirring
martial tunes as well as sparkling
melodies. that Mr.. Harry b. Smiths
humor has not lessened since he
wrote robin Hood" and that there
is still virtue in the older ideals of
genuine comic opera are three things
among others that are said to be de
monstrated thoroughly in the presen-
tation of 1.-The Free Lance" a collab-

Smith, which will be seen for the
first time in this city at the Academy
of Music next Tuesday night.
1t Is said no better thing of the
kind has Mr.. Sousa done, indeed, the
freshness of much of the music
would seem to prove that he has been
wise recently to rest on the laurels
of early successes. and Mr.. Smiths
share of the work is described as be-
ing commendable. too, in an age when
comic opera librettos are prone to be
classed as the eighth deadly sin of
the stage.
Joseph Cawthorne, n comedian we'll
known for his quaint personality and
effective methods is the star of the
organization presented by Klaw C
Erlanger, and in "The Free Lance" he
has been furnished with character
which gives him full scope to show
he is comedian of the better class.
The company which Klaw &C. Erlanger
have gathered together for the pre-
sentation is said to contain the best
aggregation of singing talent heard
outside Of the grand opera organiza-
tions in years.

opposite character to Cawthorne, and

comedy are Albert Hart, the basso.
