Bohemian Girl, the worlds most
popular comic opera. is coming to the
Academy Wednesday, matinee and
night
Bohemianism in many forms has
been a fayorite theme with music
composers, as 1t is with novelists, and
perhaps no other subject has been
treated successfully as often. The or
ieinal story of Balfe's greatest EFFORT
is from the pen OF Cervantes, entitled
1.-THE GIpsy," which was first perform
ed OF the Paris Grand Opera In 1889.
A the Bohemian Girl. 1t had Its initial
performance at the Drury Lane, Lon
don. November 81, 1s43. and achieved
an immediate triumph So great in
deed. was It's success that the iibretto
was translated into nearly every Ian
guage. and wherever the opera was
produced It created a Juror
1t was originally given in Italian
under the name OF La Zingara," and
when given in London 1t caused sucn
favorable comment that 1t was select
ed for the state performance in honor
Il the marriage of the Royal Princess.
In French 1t was called La Bo-
heraienne." and was produced at the
Theatre Lyrique. Paris, in December.
1899. 1t excited so much admiration
that the composer. Balfe, was decor
ated with the cross OF the Legion OF
Honor. THE popularity OF the opera
has never waned, and four years ago
when the Bcston English Opera Com
pany made rs row famous all-star
revival In this country II registered Il
new triumph Owing to the enormous
expense OF taking this all-star cast on

that numerous other companies have
