Dorothy Donnelly has rewritten
the story and supplied a new set of
lyrics. Schubert, in the play, is al
ready famous, but at times sadly in
need of food. The first act occurs at
an outdoor restaurant in the famous
Prater Park. in May, 1926. There
gather three maidens. Mitzi. Fritzi
and Kitzi. famous in Vienna for their
beauty and charm. Schubert falls in
love with Mitzi. but there is some
doubt as to whether the girls love. is
true love or simply admiration for the
composers great abilities. Eut
Schubert has other friends. the Baron
Van Schrobert and prima donna
named La Bellauruna. The prima
donna thinks Franz Schroeder has
fallen in love with Mitzi. and in the
endeavor to separate them. she gives
very bad report OF the character of
IF. s." the baron. and Mitzi takes
this to be her admirer. Franz Schu-
bert. SCHROEDER actually falls in love
with Mitzi. and his love is recipro-
Gated. but poor Franz is too good a
fellow to resent his friends luck and
he loves Mitzi too much not to rejoice
in her happiness, and SO he takes
refuge in his music.

At one time" he says. I'VE get a
flood of so-called crook plays; then
it is the bedroom farce; next. an
epidemic of musical comedies, and
so it goes. But there are two types
or classes of plays. which. when
we'll written and well staged. are al
ways popular. They are romantic
drama and melOdrama.
"Melodrama comes to us under
various disguises, but is always
popular. Romantic plays, especially
romantic comedies, are more diff
cult to write. as the author must
avoid the temptation Of crossing. too
far the line of probability, and so
we see them more rarely than we
do the melodrama. There are fewer
writers, too, who are capable OF pro-
ducing good romantic plays. and this
accounts for their scarcity.

great measure for their popular ap-
peal.
Il would like to see the romantic
drama given a greater place in our
theater. Why should it be allowed
to become extinct? Is it because
our everyday life is becoming SO
intensely practical and utilitarian
that we are ashamed to be the least
bit romantic? While there are boys
and girls, young men and women,
with good, wholesome red blood in
their veins, there will be romance
