most pretentious musical production Of
the present year. win be seen next
week at the New National Theater.
Under the title Of "Ein Herbstmano-
ever" this dashing Hungarian Operetta
IS still playing IN Germany after a
year of success in Berlin, Munich,
Mannheim. and Vienna. The piece is al
so a current success in Budapest, where
it was first produced. The romantic
iibretto of the piece, adapted for the
American stage by Maurice Brown
Kirby. a Washington man, is the work
Of Karl Won Bakonyi. one Of Hungary s
foremost playwrights. The music was
written by Emmerich Kalman and the
English lyrics were furnished by Grant
Stewart.
AS the name Of the piece implies it
deals with military life and shows
with keen sarcasm many of the disad-
vantages OF the military spirit which
permeates continental Europe.

Seldom does a play present one fresh
and striking type, but that is what is
claimed for 'AIrs. Wigs of the Cab
bage Patch which comes to the Acad-
envy next Monday.
Pains have been taken by LisbIer &
Co. TO make the players tit their roles,
and the success attending the endeav-
Ors OF this firm. IS sufficiently attested
by the fact that the play is now in
its sixth year.
Book plays as a rule are not long
lived, but Mrs. Wigs bids fair to
run for a generation. Il is already an
American humorous classic. The play
is clean and morally uplifting.

her charm of manner and swimming
