"BAR0N TRENCH" AT CASINO
Music of Albini Opera Altogether
Delightful.

Baron Trenck," the comic opera pros
duced last night at the Casino. possesses
one of the most ingratiating scores that
Broadway has heard In many day-a
score that is at all times delightfuuy
melodious, and by turns captivatinsly iyri-
cal and compellingly dramatic. Whether
its purely musical charm will be enough TO
carry II out into the sea Of popular favor
remains to be seen, but whatever the public
verdict be. the work of its composer. Felix
Albini, deserves warm praise In snort,
there was enough musical material In the
score 10 I'LL three ordinary Broadway pro-
ductions one number in particular, which
was originally sung In a duet by Miss
Houston and Mr.. Ripple, I'm Merry. Merry

the whole house to whistlng.
The story of Baron Trenck" is promis.
ing one. II relates how the Countess Lydia
Won Schwalbenau Is rescued from the
bandits by daredevil Trenck, VIII, has been
ordered by the Empress Maria Theresa to
marry within a year. Lydia is impetuously
wooed but escapes to Vienna, where she
becomes betrothed to an old French noble
man. and thither Trenck pursues and wins
her 1t is story that might have lent it,
lists realized their opportunity. But 70.
nance and poetry are seemingly incom-
patibe with the modern comic opera IL
bretto. especially the libretto that passes
through many hands. There were. it Is
true! moments Of real feeling in last nights
opera, notably in the first meeting between
Trenck and his inamorata. But dulness ars
rived surely with the inevitable comic re-
lief De- ..,.
As for the singers, Miss Blanche Duff
field looked the part Of the Countess LYDIA
to perfection, being both unusually hand
some and possessing considerable dasn.
Her voice is a good one, and IL at times 10
was uneven II at others saved the situa-
ton in music that was not easy to sing.
Baron Trenck was, Of course, tenor, ana
the tenor was German with good voice
and most irritating manner frita
SturmfeIs was his name and he surely did
not know English, which was perhaps parity
responsible for the painful grimaces thse
persisted in running up and down his face.
Herr Sturmfels's idea OF what a Don Juan
should be was surely a peculiarly Ger.
manic one. If the girls Of Germany con-
slider the Trenck Of last night their beau
ideal Of deviltry. it is to be doubted
whether the msidens Of other nations VIII
follow in their lead.
John Slavin was comic relief He DID

A Tortoise's Long Ranble.

Frnu1 the Birmingham
At the age Of 800 or thereabout a tor
toise belonging to the Duke of Beaufort
decided to take a summer holiday. 1t
was missed on July II from the dukes
forest Of wentwood. near Chepstow, Mon
mouthshire, and has just been found at
Newport In the same county. The tor
toise had walked to the outskirts of
Newport-eight or nine miles-and then
had been picked up and carried into the
town.
The age Of the dukes tortoise Is given
approximately by the forest rangers,
but has hibernated under a particular
rock In the forest for thirty years. and
its great age Is inferred from its size
and weight. It is eighteen inches long
and weighs ten pounds. There Is moth
