NATIoNAL-aTar and Tartar"

p Another selection VIII be added TO the
repertoire OF the Aborn Opera Com
pany at the New National Theater,
starting tomorrow night, when '"Tar
and Tartar viii be the Offering for
the usual eight performances.
That the book Of this opera abounds
in comedy OF the best sort Is implied
In the statement that Harry b Smith
wrote It. Like most OF his works, It is
whimsical and improbable in plot, and
consequently fertile in ludicrOus compli-
cations and developments.
The music Is by Adam ItZel, jr., who
furnished Tar and Tartar with many
sOng-hits that helped to win for II the
long vogue this comic opera has en-
1oyed. Among these are such famous
ditties as Il want a Situation, Moth
ing IS Like IL Used 10 Be" the Song
Of All Nations sultan, Cease Thy
SlumbeTs,' "Oh, What a Difference in
the Morning" and many others.
This was the comic opera that first
raised 70 fame the comedian Digby Bell
and his talented wife, Laura joyce, and
furnished their starring vehicle for a
season in New York city and several
years On tours Of America. Fred Frear,
who was most successful IN former
years as AIiley Hassen, and Hattie Ar
mold, who found one OF her most de-
nghtfully amusing characterizations as
Alpaca, have been engaged by the
Aborns for the two title roles Of the
Tar and the Tartar In this opera.

view of the fact that 1t is said 20 be
funnier farce than was Are You a
MasonF which convulsed CoIum bia
audiences a few weeks ago.
THE Man From Mexico" is espe-
cially notable in that II was the first
piece which prominently brought for

present time the success OF the New
York engagement exceeds even the
foremost achievements in the days OF
its original production. The play
calls for the entire strength OF the
