1.-THE Serenade.

The second week of the Aborn Comic
Opera Company's season at the New
National will be occup ed with revival
of THE Serenade,'' the charming comi,.
opera which Harry B. Smith and Victor
Herbert wrote for the late Bostonians.
The Serenade' follows Robin Hood
quite conveniently and naturally. for IL
demands practically the same assortment
Of talent as its predecessor. having been
written to fit the same cast. These two
operas were the two greatest successes
of the most famous and long-lived of all
American comic opera organizations and
after the disbandment of the old Ros-
tOnans several years ago Milton and
Sargent Aborn purchased their produce
tions and the rights TO the operas of their
repertory.
'.The Serenade' has lean presented hera
several times by the Aborn organic tions.
and has always drawn large patronage.
Smith and Herbert have given us many
delightful light operas, and II would be
hard to name their particular master
piece. but il is safe 10 say that The
Serenade' occupies high place among
their works in point of popularity. 1t IS
brimmins over with melodies Of Her
bert's own piquant style. many Of which
have already become classics among
comic opera selections.
Almost the ire array of favoritcs OF
the opening weeks cast will remain next
week, with equally appropriate ro.es in
THE Serenade.' Miss Bertram and Mr..
rockingham will a.ain he seen and
heard in roles they Graced with the Bos-
tonans. the former Yvonne. and the
latter i'm the ludicrous character OF Co
mez, the lovesick tailo~. The balance Of
the important assignments will include
William Herman West as the Duke or
Santa Cruz Forrest Huff Alverado.
FritiZi Won Busing Do.ores. Howard
Chambers as Romero. John Phillips as
Lopez Sol Solomon Colombo, Charles
w. Phillips as the Abbot, and lrna Bell.
The same outfit Of scenery and assumes
which aided in the success of this charm
ing comic opera here before Will be seen
again in its quaint depictions OF scenes
in ancient Spain The following week
another success 10y the authors or
robin Hood" will be seen in Washington
for the first time in five years-"Ihe
Hignwayman" by Smith and De koven.
Messrs Aborn have arranged IN pre-
sent an attractive series of revivalS ot
comic operas and musical comedies dur
ing their season here. most of which nave
never been seen at their summer scale "t
prices including such hits as 1T Hap
pened I'm No-dland. The Yankee Con
sui 'Fantana "F'lorodora. 'The Sere-
made THE Hi2hwayman, princess
Chic" "A Chiiese Honeymoon" The
Sultan of Sulu The Free Lance. The
Mayor of Toxic and Robin Hood"
Evening star., 1909-05-02

this week Few operas have more con-
sstent story than Robin Hood nor a
musical setting more tuneful and fasci-
mating. The Brown October Ale The
Tinker's Song" oh. Promise Me, The
to Me-" The Armorer's Song and The
Anvil are household melodies. The story
of the opera is printed in The Star today.
So Identified have several of the Bos-
tonians become with certain roles In
Robin Hood" that revival would seem
incomplete without them, and so the
AbOrns have provided George B. Froth-
ingham. Helen Bertram and Sabery dor
sell for their former roles. In addition
to these singers such we'll known artists
as Forrest Huff George Tallman. FRITZ
Won Busing. William Herman West. Sol
Solomon. Hattie Arnold ard Howard
Cha ambers. Prominent in minor roles are
many popular local favorites and the
chorus Will be composed of girls picked
from the various Aborn companies.
An innovation at the New National for
the summer season will be the opening
of the succeeding weeks ticket sale on
each preceding Monday. instead OF Thurs
day. Patrons desiring may secure the
same seats for each week throughout .le
entire season: thereby avoiding the delay
caused by waiting at the ticket window.
The scale of prices this year will be the
same as OH former occaSiOnS-20. ~ and
20 cents at the evening performances
- and 30 cents at the Saturday matinee
and - cents for all seats at the special
school children's matinee of Wednesday,
