Opera
''lolanthe" Is Sung by the Amer.
ican Company at the
Park Theatre

AS sings the immortal Earl of Tol-
loller~-
Every boy and every girl
That's born into this world alive
Is either Nttls lib er- a.
Or else little con- n-ser-va tive.
But liberal or conservative, pluto
crat or Bolshevik, we are born alike
to love "Iolanthe" and continue to love
1t unless seized with some malady
which renders impotent at once our
ears and our intelligence. We hear
THE Mikado" and are sure that it is
the greatest opera written by an Eng
lishman until we listen to "The Pi-
rates" Then we make the acquaint-
ance Of "Patience' and know that we
were wrong both times. Last night it
was the turn of "Iolanthe" and 30
lanthe" now occupies the niche of our
supreme admiration.
New York has seen more perfect
performances than last nights at the
Park Theatre, yet all in all it was the
best revival of d Gilbert and Sullivan
opera the Society of American Singers
has accomplished, with the exception of
its "Mikado." The real Gilbertian flavor
was indeed intermittent. Mr.. Dam
forth's Lord Chancellor had it at times,
besides possessing a contralto voice of
real beauty; Miss Gladys Caldwells
Phyllis was graceful and despite her
tiny voice sympathetic to the music.
The orchestra, too, under the baton
Of John McGhie brought out it's part
as it should have been brought out;
the costumes were excellent, the
scenery adequate, Craig Campbell sang
Strephon moderately we'll, and Kate
Condor was amusingly fat as the
Queen of the Fairies. But neither
Bertram Peacock nor Herbert Water
Gus, despite their excellent voices,
showed grain of understanding of
how their lines should be sung or
read, and John Phillips lacked even
voice to commend his Earl of Tolloller
There was, too, general aphasia of
lines and the stage waits were many
and annoying.
Both intelligence and memory are re-
CURED in a Gilbert and Sullivan opera
and some of last nights performers
displayed neither. Fortunately these
offenders were not in a majority, and
the large audience witnessed a per-
Torrance worthy on the whole of the
enjoyment 1t aroused. G.. Y.
