he intended to prepare a new draft,
he desired to economic on the

the same spirit as THE Parade of the
Wooden Soldiers" and "Katinka,' -
'Stenka Razine," an intensely tragic
moment in the career of Russia s
most famous bandit, and THE Zapor-
ozhtsi," highly favored and excit-
ing recreation of Repin's celebrated
painting. Paris was equally enthu-
siastic about The Arrival at Bethle-
hem," which the English censor pro-
hibited in London, but which will be
given here.

proach. Her triumph is great and
the penalty which such triumph
often carries is that of being fet-
tered season after season to an emo
tional ordeal which cannot fail to
be exhausting.
Viewing the stage as the mirror
held up to nature, the picture of
our own taste flashed back to US
by Rose Marie is one of encour-
agement. If the public has become
exceedingly bold in the invasion of
metaphysical realms of discussion,
it has increased its artistic and in
tellectual demands as regards the
lighter forms of entertainment.
Lighter entertainment is entitled to
share of serious consideration, for,
as has been remarked many times,
the thing selected as a cause of
laughter is what points the stage
OF difference between the barbarian
and the philosopher. "Rose-Marie"
is not all in laughing mood, but it
is sunshiny, and the most consistent
ly operate disclosure that the
American stage has recently Of
fered. Its chief charm is the music,
which ranks Friml as one of the
best composers of light music of
present or previous times. His
mounted police number is a master
piece, and the whole work is a step
toward the legitimate comic opera
made, however, with a caution that
avoids disappointing the popular
eye trained to spectacular revela-
tions. The totem number is a gor-
geous contrivance of the grotesque,
a creation of beauty, linking the
aboriginal impulse in art with all
the fastidious hnery of the most
ultra fashion monger. AS to liter
ary facility the work lays no such
claim to relationship with Gilbert
and Sullivan opera as it asserts
musically. Perhaps it should be es-
pecially admired for the dexterity
employed in making physical dis
play and athletic animation take
the place of verbal ingenuities. In
its way "Rose- Marie's" engagement
was as complete and convincing an
assurance of popular fidelity to
standard forms of expression as
was the brilliantly patronized sea-
son of grand opera itself.

The Gingham Girl,
March 8.

THE musical comedy The Gingham
Girl with Eddie Buzzell, will be
the attraction at Polls Theater, the
week commencing Sunday, March s.
When THE Gingham GirI' was pro-
duced by Schwab and Russell, two
young men fresh from college, and it
scored one of the biggest hits in
years, the older producers tried to
analyze its amazing success. Some
attributed IT to the clever book. with
its interesting story and its abund-
ance of wholesome humor; others to
the musical score, with it's many re-
freshing song hits that have just the
proper jingle
But the chief reason for the pop
ularity Of the piece is said to be
the spirit of youth which pervades
the entire performance. It is an en-
tertainment of and about young peo-
pie, and its fresh exurberance is con-
tagious.
