and those who have never heard it
should not miss the opportunity be-
cause its lovely musical score is
taken almost entirely from the songs
and other master works of Franz
Schubert, the great composer.
The same company and production
which has been delighting New York
for months at the Century Theater
are promised here. Chief among the
a former member of the Washington
Grand Opero Company, who during
war days was the director of the
Washington Community Chorus; Roy
Cropper, a young tenor of remark
able vocal gifts; Teddy Webb, a
humorous and agreeable comedian,
and the Misses Laurel Nemeth, Helena
Brugovna and Sonya Leyton, all prima
donnas.
The story Of Blossom Time" is
founded on an episode in the life of
Franz Schubert, who. apparently, had
but one authentic affair Of the heart.
The book and lyrics are by Dorothy
Donnel1y, and the music, taken al
most entirely from the famous songs
and unforEettable motifs of Schu-
bert's larger works, has been beauti-
fully adapted by Sigmund Romberg.
Single musical numbers here and
there were composed by H. Berthe,
modern writer Of Vienna. The piece
was staged by j. C. Huffman, and the
dances were arranged by Frank Gill
The scenes are all laid in Old vien-
ma (1826), and the work as whole,
now grave, now gay, and later turn
ing to romance, often conjures the
life of the gay European capital in
Its heyday Of earlier generations.

Rams Head Players-Lady Greg
ory's "Grania."

The Rams Head Players, under the
direction of Robert Bell, will present
"Grania" for ten performances, five
each week, beginning Wednesday and
including Saturday matinee. The cos
tunes and settings are beautiful, hav-
ing been designed by James Reynolds
from his own drawings made ir ire
land two years ago.
1t is said of Lady Gregory. author
OF "Grania," that she handles some
orders of drama pleasantly. the farce
more than pleasantly. and the folk
tragedy nobly. Certain 1t is that she
knows Irish life all through. Irish
men and Irishwomen rarely know it
today. Along with Yeats. she has
brought back to life the older cycles
Of Gaelic legend. Her use Of the
Irish idiom has quaintness, beauty
and charm and is especially effective
in romance of dim, legendary world,
in which she so exceiS.
Her "Grania," which Is to be the
third production of the Rams Head
Players, is folk romance of the pre-.
historic era, and IT is admitted that in
this play of old Ireland Lady Gregory
proves herself a master in the writ.
ing of great and romantic tragedy. =.
