ROSE OF STAMBOUL,' MUSICAL
SPECTACLE, IN LOVELIEST FORM
Sets New Standard for Produc,
tions at the Century-The
Score Inspiring.

Nobody would hesitate 10 call "Ths
Rose of Stamboul." which Lee and ]. ].
Shubert produced in most elaborate and
beautiful fashion at the Century The
ater last night. three star operetta.
There were three undeniable stars In
Miss Tessa Kosta. Marion Green and
James Barton TO Justify that claim at
the outset. Then everything else in
the entertainment that filled the Cen
tury stage with beauty. fun and melody
was OF the star brand, even the three
star brand. Such luxurious projection
of comic opera never has been seen
even on the same stage which has
presented so much that was out of the
ordinary.
Yet the dresses of quite unusual taste
and richness. the singing of Miss Kosta
and Mr.. Green, even the droll contribu-
tions of Mr.. Barton might nave been
unavailing had not there been material
worth the effort of these artists and the
outlay of the impresarios.
The Rose of Stamboui" happens TO
possess an uncommonly beautiful score.
Leo Fall wrote much of It. Then at his
elbow was Sigmund Romberg. who can
spin his tunes In the Viennese pattern
with the best of them. The first act
alone contains two beautifully melodious
and inspiring waltzes, MY Heart Is
Calling" and "The Rose OF Stamboul."
Then there is in this same division Mr..
Romberg's "Lovey Dovey," which is GER
tain to be popular dance music. The
score abounds In numbers that are sure
to be popular and uphold moreover the
best traditions OF the school which Mr.
Fall represents.
The libretto. with its scenes in the
harem of pasha and in Monte Carlo,
provides picturesque backgrounds. 1t
may not be so brilliant in wit as to
dazzle the spectators. But nbrettos
have not done that for years. There
was plenty OF laughter last night even
at the text.
But it is after all a confusion in terms
to speak of "the Rose of StambouP" as
comic opera. Undoubtedly 1t began in
that form. Yet 1t has been SO sublim-
ated and extra illustrated by all that
taste and liberality can suggest it Is
no longer to be considered as an exam
pie of that kind of theater art. The
stage of the Century revealed O beau
tiful fantasy so uncommon indeed In its
loveliness that 1.-The Rose of Stamboul''
has become musical spectacle in Its
most attractive form. AS comic opera
the venture is quite unprecedented.
Apart from Watson Barratt's novel
and alluring stage settings which by the
use of translucent textiles gained a sug-
gestion OF softness and lightness which
is altogether new, there were the
dancers of the Oriental ballet. who were
attired with exquisite taste and luxury
These were the dominating qualities Of
the performance. And the animating

soul of it all was the lovely and inspir-
ing score of Fall and Romberg.
Miss Kosta, sympathetic and graceful.
sang her music with uncommon skill
and the rich middle tones of Mr.. Green's s
tenor were delightful to hear. James
Barton is most amusing comedian.
Possibly he is funnier when he dances
than at any other time. His soft shoe
steps were irresistibly comic. Yet his
burlesque of the interpretative dancers
was just as side splitting. it is dam
gerous business to say when Mr.. Bar
ton is funniest. 1t seemed last night as
IL he were funniest all the time. The
Lockfords did some remarkable muscu-
lar dancing. Miss Mabel Withee and
Jack McGowan contributed their pleas
ing bits to the three acts.
THE Rose of Stamboul," in other
words. set new standard for spe ,tacle
with music. 1t Is quite unsurpassabie.
Among those attending the opening
were Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred n. Bead!nston
Mrs. Robert Graves, Mr.. and Mrs. David
T. l.. Van Buren,, Miss Peggy WATSON.
Miss Elisabeth Marbury, Messrs w
Stephen Van Rensselaer,. Austen Gray,

Merchant Endorsed
by Commercial Club
for County Position

Special to The Tribune.
Harlem. Nov. 1S.-Charles A. Smith,
Harlem merchant and former mayor,
has been Endorsed by the directors Of
the Harlem Commercial club for the
appointment of county commissioner to
fill the vacancy made by the resigna-
ton of +. b. Policy. Judge Rose is
expected to make the appointment this
week. 1t is understood that there are
several %aspirants for the office.
The commercial club selected a
Harlem candidate rather than a capdi-
date from the Big Flat for the reason
that the opening Of the reservation is
going to present a lot of problems
which can be handled to a better adj
vantage by a man located at Harlem
and can also serve the Big Flat ter
ritory at the same time. There is also
a problem of opening up roads to the
country south of Harlem along the
west side of the reservation that can
be more easily handled by a commits
sioner located here.
A number Of years ago Mr.. Smith
was commissioner of old Chouteau
county when it took in all of what Ia
now part Of Philips, Blaine, Hill and
the present Chouteau COUNTY.
