Pure Joys Debt To
Gilbert and Sullivan
BY y. p. BABCoCK.

1t is none too often that a stage

press OF a city. This agreeable ex-
perience has fallen 10 the lot of an
admira bic organization known as the
Society Of American Singers. q"

livan's long neglected "GOndoliers, q"
at the Park theater. New York.
For some unaccountable reason

minds these collaborators were asso-

ignorance of this treasure Of melody

Even those OF the critics who
have come into that journalistic es-
tate within the last quarter century
could not help expressing their sur
prise in print. the next day, at the
marvellous up-to- dateness and appro-

declined to turn the key of a choice
wine-b bin.
The Gondoliers," as all who have
the good fortune to visit New York

convincing way proof that these two
Englishmen in their merry life time
