cocious girls have done the same
thing but there is at least one famous
prima donna who did not do any ser
ious work until she was nearly 80.
Therefore. as Miss Farrar says.

There is one thing on which Miss

all Of these attractions Mr.. Herbert
composed the music.
When "Sweethearts" was produced
in New York. the Theater magazine
said:
"Herbert's scores are always in
teresting. The present one is con-
s.derably above his melodious aver
age. II gives evidence Of loving and
careful composition. II is harmoni-
ously tuneful throughout and or
chestrated with particular ingenuity
and comprehensive detail. II has a
waltz refrain that is particularly
haunting and some numbers. especi-
ally the finale Of the first act, that
is almost grand opera in its ambi-
tious quality"
There is good reason to expect
much from the Dunbar singers this
