Like some other opera comiques
comic operas or opera bouffes--call
them what you will-the chief charm
or "Jacinta." now playing at the Bel
asco. is its music. One may not rea-
sonably expect an opera comique to
be as uproariously funny as a good
farce, and the humorous values OF
"Jacinta" are not 0:cessive. The
singing Of Bertha Shalek, of Anna
Bussert and Of Forrest Hun is what
pleases in the pretentious and am
bilious effort Of John Cort now on
view. Also the chorus singing, par
ticularly that of the second act finale
10 of first-rate quality.
In other words "Jacinta" Is one OF
those large. handsomely staged af.
fairs for which principals of reputa-
ton have been engaged. in which
the chorus is lavishly gowned, and
In which the music II not great is
good. but which in spite Of all this
inevitably fails to please that por-
ton OF an audience which comes to a
theater to be made to laugh. Some
