score being by that eminent Viennese composer, Edmund Eysler, and the
 book by Americas wittiest humorist, Oliver Herford. The locale of the ae- ton IS the metropolis itself and the characters are all American, the story having to do with the love of young prifna donna and the son of a rich man of high social status, with the chief complication brought about by the rivalry for the heroine's affections on the part of her rather mature ar tistic associate. MT Herford has fol- lowed the German original only in a general way, preferrfng to gain his eHects by original works-a course tn at the critics have approved enthu- siast1ca1ly. He has even dared to do that most unusual thing in operetta- have serious thread in the story and in the doing of this has added new laurels to lis already noteworthy list. The result is that until the final mo- strong romantic interest. A subsid. iary plot tells another love story of scarcely lesser charm, while all the characteristic TTerford gayety of 11u- nor and keenness of wit appears at it's very best
 the most fascinating of the year. It's haunting witchery, notable sweetness and remarkable aTtistfc qualities stamp it in class almost all it's own. When Skies Are Bright, Forget Me Not''. Just Play'', Love and Wine. How Fair the World. "cupid's Mark. A Matinee Idol''. Gather Ye Rosebuds''.. and "A Toast are a few only of the individual hits in a rich and varied score which fairly spar kles with alluring songs, spirited choruses and orchestral treats.
 MT. Savages supremacy as pro- ducer has never been more definitely demonstrated than in the three mag nificent settings = showing upper Broadway at night, as the theatre crowds are pouring from the play houses: a ballroom in a Fifth avenue ralace, and back-of-the-scenes in a metropolitan theatre. Beautiful cos- tunes and stage detail of note worthy sort add their part.
 Charles J. Ross, long a favorite fun maker an Broadway, appears in role that brings into play all his versatile skill: Elgie Bowen has at once leaped into the highest favor in the role sof the prima donna; Craig Campbell has proven the tenor find" of the year; while the company of a hundred others includes many singers and players of very exceptional worth

BOWLING NOTES

Despite the fact that two of their clubs have been drafted into the State league association. the Nutmeg bow ling league has decided to stick things out and run their league again this year.

 MT. Ray the president has been granted a franchise in the State lea que, but his plans for the present sea- son are undecided as to whether he will enter either league. From all in- dications it appears the league this season will have six clubs, with Hart ford, New Haven and this city assur- ed. Meriden has a strong inclination to enter a five. New Britain and Wal 1ingford are undecided. but it is prob able that they will come along with in few weeks. There will be a meeting of the league again next Sun day at which schedule committee will be appointed and every thing made in readiness for the opening on Thursday. Oct. 14th
