II tuneful music, wonderful stage
settings, extraordinary voices and the
prettiest chorus that has been seen
in Washington in a decade are the
things essential. to an ideal evenings
entertainments. the "Ehe. Riviera
Girl" which Klaw & Erlanger
brought to the National Theater last
night, is a 100 per cent production.
This combination product of Boil
ton and wodehouse, who furnished the
lyrics, and Emmerich Kalman' who
wrote the music, combines a real
dramatic story with a,grade of music
far above the ordinary opera The
waltz song, "Just a Voice to Call Me
Dear most attrsctivSly sung by
Miss Bennett, has all ,the qualities
that have made other waltz songs the
predominatinE feature of great sue
Cesses.
The story OF the opera concerns
the methods and means taken by
millionaire father to marry his son
TO a woman Of title. Assistance in
accomplishing this is rendered by
Sam Springer lSam Hardly. of Fish
burg, Ill. whose humor was remi-
niscent of De Wolf Hopper in his best
days. Through Sans efforts, and
with the millionaire's money, the son
properly mArries the girl of his
choice, and the little prima donna Of
the Garden Theater OF the Cote
d'Azur, at Monte Carlo, weds the
Prince, and all are happy.
Opinions will vary as to which is
the more attractive: the score OF
the play, the wonderful stage set
tings, or the attractiveness OF the
cast. Each one will have its sup
portsrs. and each one merits its sup
port. - -

with brilliancy, and glowing stage

all combine to make pictures Of q

productions which have been famed
solely as spectacles.
Miss Wilda Bennett, who appears
In the title role. sings a half dozen

part in the score, with a charming
voice and attractive manner. Carl
