Needs n Smaller Theatre

Tho need for a more intimate setting
+; particularly evident in the first two
acts. Here tho music Is dependent Tor
it's effect upon the more delicate voice
OF the orchestra. The score is really
rich in little humorous touches. touches
which 10 he comnletcly understood must
hc received with an understanding Of
the words. Fatlmah's character Is ad-
mirably characterized, Characterization
which ie. however. largely lost IN the
great spaces Of the metropolitan. The
episodes of the quarrel. Of Marouf :
whipping. are excellent bits OF comic
writing. ia the second act the break
ing Of the dawn the voices OF the
streets and the cries of the muezzlns
from the towers show the composer as
a true master of polyphony.
The third act is filed with color and
is altogether charming. II is only ct
the end. i'm the love scene between
Msrouf and the princess, that one be
gins to realize that with all his splen-
did musicianship and mastery OF or
chestral color NJ. Rabaud does not
possess the supreme lyric git. Inc
love music is pretty enough, but char-
acterless and lacking in spontaneity'
I'm short. one discovers that the COM
poser is a splcadid workman, but not
q singer. The same weakness extends
into the fourth act. but in the last his
power over the orchestra again tri-
umphs, and the audience is given
finale at once stirring and amusing.
VI. Rabaud. in short. is most effective
when he does not attempt the iiNed
aria. lie uses more or less effectively
the system Of leading motives, though
with comparatively little development.
His chief concern is with color and
Characterization, and in both Of these
he is effective.

but Just couldn't help 1t. called UP
the fire department and asked them to
send the hook and ladder wagon around
and rescue the little rabbit, but they
said they couldn't unless the tree
caught fire.
Then called up the man who cleans
windows and asked him to bring his
long ladder. but the window cleaner
man asked IL there were any windows
in the tree, and when ! said no. he said
ne couldn't possibly do IT, Wasn't that
unkind Of him?
Well, after long time the little rab-
bit thot OF way. He took the string
Off of the balloon and tied one end to a
limb and slid down to the ground.
Wasn't that clever Of him? But OF
course the balloon got away, but he
couldn't help that. you know.
I'm going to be careful what do
now" said the little rabbit to. himself
as he sfouldered his knapsack and
picked up his striped candy cane. Then
OF he started, but isn't It strange, no
matter how careful we are sometimes,
we get into trouble. and that's Just what
happened to Billy Bunny

jump out, and there he was down at
the bottom with his feet in the water
and his little pink nose all covered with
mud.
Well, don't know what would have

he looked over the edge Of the hole, and
then, of course, he saw the little rab-

out OF the deep hole onto the grass. And
then he united the grape vine and wags
