designer and painter Of scenery. Hew-
lett, who is responsible for the twenty
three scenes in this play, is an architect

siderable comment
II was the late John Alexander, the
artist, and afaude Adams who first per-
suaded Hewlett TO turn his attention to
the theatre Hewlett had gone TO Paris
to study decorating. Miss Adams and
Alexander knew his work, and decided
he was the man who could best design
the scenery for "Chantecler," so they
induced him to make his first trial in
this line of work. His scenery for
"Chantecler' is remembered as being
one of the first direct efforts in this
country toward the newer art of scenic
and lighting effects.
Hewlett is not a realist. nor is he an

upon extreme simplicity to achieve his

Gilbert and Sullivan REVEALS are not
mere theatrical events-they are
family reunions. Generations Of
theatregoers and mont heatregoers
have been audiences at Gilbert and
Sullivan productions-profes and
amateur--that have swept the country
from season to season, and every time
there is new Gilbert and Sullivan
revival the old folk and the youngest
generation join the regular theatre
goers of the family, and everybody
compares notes on the companies of
yesterday, to-day and forever! The
last New York Gilbert and Sullivan
revival was the all-star Casino organi-
zation of the Brady-Shubert forces.
Before that came the "H M. S. Pima
fore" revival at the Hippodrome.
But the memories of such Gilbert
and Sullivan expert. for instance, as
John McGhie, who is conducting the
present revivals at the Park Theatre.
go back to the ]. 0. Duff company and
to the early history Of Gilbert and
Sullivan in America. Gilbert and Sui
Ivan had been collaborating for seven
years. and had already produced
"Thespis, "Trial by Jury "The
Sorcerer" and "H. NJ. S. Pinafore,"
which had not been a success at first,
but which eventually ran 700 nights
at the London Opera Comique, when
they brought their own company to
New York in 1879 and produced "H.
NJ S. Pinafore" here. Lacking inter
national copyright laws, to protect the
rights of the English authors in
America every aspirant for mana
gerial fame and dollars was free t.
produce the reigning success Of Lon
don and New York without a penny
to pay in royalty, and "H. NJ S. Pima
fore" swept the country like wildfire.
There were church choir companies.
juvenile companies, and "H. NJ. S.
Pinafore" flooded the stage with en-
tirely raw recruits. Some Of the bet

vivals' of Gilbert and Sullivan were
features of every theatrical season
throughout the United States. The
most famous of them, the Boston Idea,
Company and the Chicago Church
Choir Company. two aggregations OF
splendid singers, combined as "The
Bostonians."
To secure the American rights for
their next opera, after their expert
cnce with "H. NJ, S. Pinafore," Gilbert
and Sullivan brought out "The Pirates

first in New York in 1879, and the
next year, in London, it ran for nearly
400 nights. "The Mikado; or, The
Town of Titipu," was first announced
in 1885 and proved the most generally
popular of the operas in England and
of lasting popularity here. For the
present revivals of "The Mikado" and
