Musical Score
Of Pom-Pom Is
Unusual Treat

There are many points of inter-
est about Mitzi Hajos, who is now
recognized as Americas foremost
ccmic opera star, and also abuu:
the lavish production of Pom
Pom," which. Henry w. Savage
sends to the Tacoma theater Mon
day and Tuesday evenings.
But one Of the chief points to
musicians Is the orchestration of
the opera. Hugo Felix, the COM
poser, wrote for the first time in
a musical comedy score an i'm
portant part for the celeste, that
rare little instrument of beautiful
tone, first introduced to this
country by the Russian Symphony
orchestra. Felix's instrumental
arrangement enables one to easily
recognize the wonderful effects
gained from the use Of the celeste
thruout the entire orcheetration.

players were not so well satisfied.

Thomas, Vean Gregg and Kopp to
find they had been traded to the
