While "The Student Prince" would be q satisfying musical entertain ment without it. the male chorus gives 1t q sensational novelty and gives fresh pleasure to those attend ing it again and again.
 The reason for bringing this at traction back at this time is q very generous one on the part of its pro ducerS, the MessrS. Shubert. They are not at all sure that this all- around singing and acting organiza- tion can be held together for an- other season.
