trouble with stars is tht they will in

which they were successful years ago.
They do not realize the fact that they
no longer look the part. They grow
old of course-we all do-they become
mature, but just ths same they see
themselves as the public no longer sees
them. Then the play must be sacri-
feed to their requirements. Their
parts must be built UP at the expense
Of the others; they must be the whole

tired of that sort of thing and the

THE Spring Maid is considered 20
be the most modern of its class and is
thought to suggest the line of enter
tainment that the music-loving Wen
nese have designed for the world in the
next few years. There is in it the fore
runner of the Cabaret form of enter
tainHnent that has been so popular over
all Europe for about two years, and yet
this opera retains it's comic opera con-
struction throughout. Perhaps the chief
difference to be found is that this new
est music work presents the spirit of
Viennese fun in it's action as well as in
its dialogue more than any other light
opera the present generation can re-
member. It is a story taken from one of
the nerriest of Grimm's old German
folk tales with it's wood nymphs and
fitting rabbits.
