opera complement Of a man and wife
who did not agree, a fat man with a
hopeless love, a lean man who cast
shadows all about and a brigand.
The Married Man was the Duke OF
ALASKA, who almost became king against
his will and was played by William
very far from conventional comedy
business, he brought laughs when the
show most needed them.
William DanfOrth was cast As Bran
and bore almost an equal share with
Norris in the fun making. His one
song, Moving Pictures is sure of a
place In the show as long as it lasts.
The one feminine member Of the cast
who made good beyond question was
Miss Clara Palmer with pleasant
singing voice and some notion of acting
this young woman won her way In the
esteem of the audience on merit and
petition. Her song, Come Along Pretty
Girl. 90 was the best received in the per
Torrance and it proved that she could
dance, too.
Score Meritorious.
The score and several Of the songs de-
serve consideration from a musical
standpoint. The reCitative passages give
the musical comedy a semblanCe of
standard comic opera. The words very
often spoiled the effect of the music.
What has happened said twice 10 a
measure is not euphonious. l suspect
that "Catamarang' is worth while in
spite of its name, but its worth was
hardly brought out in its singing. A
number Of other songs, not so difficult
as that. should gain in smOothness and
in effectiveness before the week is out.
The piece is handsomely and as ar
tistically staged as any musical comedy
that has come to these parts for a long
time. The first scene, laid in the gar
dens of the Duke OF ALASKA, IS particu-
larly striking. The bushes proved so
realistic that they bounded back and
hit members of the chorus As they came
trOoping through the woods But that
and other details can be arranged.
And / promised to explain about the
"kossel." Well, I have changed my
mind The man who insisted on calling
a self-respecting castle by that name
may improve tonight. If he dOesn'
you can spot him when you see the
