"MAM'SELLE NITOUCHEp
Operctta by Herve Is Revived at the
irving Place Theatre


II IL an old but gay operetta which
was played by the German company at
the Irving Place Theatre on Saturday
night "Mamselle Nitouche.' By
Hervs, 10 older than the memories Of
some OF those who witnessed II, but
It's philosophy Is still quite true. That
Is: Being a soubrette In light opera
Is more useful and entertaining than
being 4 modest little damsel In q con-
vent. Given this weighty conclusion,
almost any one could construct tho
plot. The laws OF operetta are strict
the heroine must triumph. Accord
ingly, the prima donna Of the inner
play elopes with q convenient major,
giving the little convent maid oppor-
tunity to step into the chief role and
bring down the house.
As tho convent organist and musical
comedy author, who responds to the
name Of Celestin In pious moments and
Of Floridor In gayer ones, Christian
Rub had the opportunity which his tai
ents as comedian deserve. The old
fashioned construction Of the piece,
which gave each of the characters oc-
casion to step before tho audience. an
nounce his name and recite his pecu-
liarities, gave Mr.. Rub an amusing
opening song, In which sanctimony and
inconsequential comedy were blended.
And this comic contrast he sustained
admirably throughout.
Marguerite Christians was a mis-
chievous and charming Denise and her
voice was equal TO the demands made
upon It. Hans Unterkirchner played
the young officer, Fernand de Champla-
treux, with spirit, and John Feistel, as
the major, was at times amusing. Fe-
lix Marx was funny in his impersona-
ton Of the sort Of impresario who is
not out of fashion. The music Is an
echo from an all but forgotten past.
The plans for the week at the Ger
man theatres have been somewhat al
tered since last chronicled in these
pages. "Mam'selle Nitouche" will be
played all week at the Irving Place,
with the exception of Wednesday and
Saturday evenings, when "The Living
Corpse" will be the programme, and
"Die Schone vom Strande" will con-
tinue at the Bandbox.

Mr.. Pardee had made arrangements for
the Importation Of lot of French
geese, but the government would not

1t depends entirely on the individual
taste. Some, persons prefer to have their
asparagus with the main course. and In this
case the vegetable is cooked with melted or
drawn butter sauce, Others wish il as a
separate course instead Of salad and have IL
served hot, with a French dressing. Again.
It may be served as a salad, with lettuce
and mayonnaise or French or Russian
dressing, Any way is correct.
