S.gmund Romberg, composer of
'Maytime" and other light musical
pieces, who is also the adapter of the
Schubert music for Blossom Time, -
visited Vienna last summer during 4
vacation with his own people, who
live but a few miles distant from the
Austrian capital, and from there
wrote to Hollis Davenny, who enacts
the role of Franz Schubert in the
operetta, of his visit to Mrs. Schubert

Schubert.

'Alt-Wien, but now one of the poorest
quarters OF the city. An old lady
opened the door. It was Mrs. Emma
Schubbert-Pros the veritable
niece of Franz Schubert. She is 78
years old. She spoke freely of her
Uncle Franz who was so poor that
he had no place to rest his head, but
for her Father Ferdinand. "A hun
dred years ago my Uncle Franz died
of hunger" she answered one of my
solicitious inquiries.-"and it seems
as if the last Of his family will be faith
full to that tradition"

But Vienna has not entirely for
gotten, even in its heavy troubles. the
last Schubert alive, for she has a
monthly allowance of twenty-four
kronen from the Government. 1 told
her of the remarkable success in
America of Blossom Time and that
the operetta would soon reach it's six
hundredth performance in New York.
She was indeed happy to learn that
Franz music was giving so much hap
piness to playgoers today, and she
joins me in sending TO you and the
company her best wishes for its con-
tinued success
The outstanding feature of interest
to music lovers of Blossom Time" is
that it takes almost all its songs, as
well as its plot, from Franz Schubert
and frankly admits it. Classical melo-
dies as popular songs is nothing new
TO Broadway; Chopin has danced in
My Baby's Arms and Beethoven

of this delightful Blossom Time is
that never for a moment does it cheap

terpieces on which its musical score
has been built up.
