Fitting the punishment to the crime,

most difficult adjustments the human

attained when Mizzi Hajos was sent

former could be accomplished for those
persons who. at a time like the finale
of this operetta. in spite of the printed
notices on programs and frequent in

final curtain.

tainment at the National this week, will
be exceedingly loath to have the spell
broken by what the program maker
terms isolated acts Of thoughtless dis
Nourtesy." For the conclusions of
both the first and second acts are so
substantial, musically, and SO dramatic,

when light opera of this sort was the

be from a rustic English ditty first
heard in Yorkshire about the year 1925,
and musical critics say it has pecu-

the untutored ear. The words of the
American version are without rhyme
