The Comic Opera "Robin Hood" at
DEBORAH.

DeCOfdn.
''Robin Hood and his merrie men
will hold forth at the Grand at DEBORAH
on Thursday night, January 18th, when
the de Koven Opera Company with so
people and it's own orchestra will pre-
sent the all-star grand opera revival of
de Koven's most famous work, "Robin
Hood" The present elaborate presen-
tation of this little masterpiece is the
most ambitious effort yet made in the
realm of light opera in this country,
and it was the first of series of revi-
walls that are calculated to foster
tasta for form of art that is Ian
gushing state.
Originally produced twenty-three
years ago, "Robin Hood" has enjoyed
career of remarkable prosperity. 1t
has been performed more than seven
thousand times, and the melody of its
score and the wit of its book will live
to give delight to generations yet I'M
born. The present production will
doubtless serve sharp reminder of the
marked deterioration of the standard
of light opera, and it may serve as a
good purpose in eliminating the vac
IONS exhibitions of nonsensical vulgari-
| ty that has taken the place and usurped
the name and field of this genre Of
work. robin Hood" has been given
worthy setting and the production is
an artistic as well as an elaborate one.
The market place of old Nottingham
and the green shades of Sherwood For
est have been reproduced with fidelity
and an attempt has been made to pre-
serve the atmosphere of old England in
the days when Richard was king. The
costumes have been designed with care
and are of the period. To properly
cast robin Hood" Reginald de Koven
drew on the resources of the grand
opera houses of this country and Eu-
rope. Ivy Scott, a famous:prima donna,
with rare lyric voice was secured from
the Century Grand Opera, New York.
In the cast are Ralph Brainard, James
Stevens, Phil Branson, Cora Tracy.
