While the press and public opinion in France

British governments will take any exception to
what is considered here a reasonable and sound
action. Germany. it is almost certain, indicated
her intentions to Austria in advance and re-
ceived Austria's full approval, and 1t is not un-
likely that at least one other power has already

Jingling tunes merry songs pretty girls and
eral good performers pervade 'The Girls OF Got
tenberg,'' the first musical comedy of the new
season. that presented at the Knickerbocker
Theatre last night and enjoyed by the usual
semblage at first night. 1t introduced to the
American stage clever Engshwoman, who is not
without a name and fame in her own country-Miss
Gerte Millar. She appears Mitzi. an innkeepers
daughter, in love with Max Moddelkopf barber
and valet at the barracks of Gutenberg. James
Bakeley impersonated Moddelkopf. The merri-
ment begins when prince of the German states
induces the barber to go to Gutenberg as the
envoy extraordinary of the Kaiser. Attired in
brilliant military trappings, Moddekopf proceeds
that city, and is received with acclaim by multi
tude of Gottenbergers. The honors showered upon
him. the multi-coored uniform and the sight of
numerous well gowned women made him forget
Rottenberg and Mitzi
But Mitzi not be cast off easily She
packed up and followed Moddeikopf to his new
place of abode He has already new flame.
Clementine, the burgomaster's daughter, acted by
Miss Louise Dresser

threatens to expose him There follows highly
ludicrous situation, in which Clementne. Mitzi.
Moddelkopf and Brittlbottl. sergeant of Hussars,
create much amusement. Eventually the secret
becomes known and Moddelkopf repents.
The Girls of Gutenberg is not an ordinary mu-
seal comedy 1t is filled with delightful marches,

NOR interesting dialogue and funny situations that
excite real laughter. And every ybody of any inpor-
lance IN the cast sings songs as the composer in
tended them to be sung. AS matter of fact, there
is enough real talent in this production to fill half
a dozen shows. To begin with there is the charm
ing little English woman Miss Millar, than whom
a da1nter performer has not been seen in musical
comedy. She has a voice, eyes and head-and
all are useful to her in her artful ways of holding
the attention of the audience. Hear her sing "A
