Something OF the methods Of the

casional revivais of the Gilbert and
Sullivan operas In London. There Is

there would be no lack of managers
willing to undertake an experiment
which involves SO little risk. William
Hinshaw, who seemed to be prosper

cessful enough after all to keep on
with the performance of these works.
There have been no end Of theaters
available this season. Apparent sue

did intend was to end the opera In the
Elzabethan menrer-with the tester,

of this is the alteration that he made
after the first production In the last
verse OF tne famous song I Have a

situation by leading up to big mu-
