The Beggar's Opera to Be
Heard Here in October

WHEN THE Beggars Opera" John
w Gays 200-year-old musical classic
from the Lyric Theater, London, opens
the WilSon-Greene concert season of
1928 in Washington with a per-
formance at Polls Theater on Friday
afternoon, October 81, Washington
will have it's first opportunity to see
play which is generally credited
with being the grandsire of light
opera and musical comedy in English.
England was in rather a bad way
musically in 1927, when John Gay
first wrote "The Beggar's opera. p"
George II, the Hanoverian monarch
then on the English throne, was a
devotee of Italian opera and had
brought over Handel as court musi-
clan. The man in the street was
musically inarticulate, and Italian
opera being in favor, the masses kept
away from the theater.
John Gay was intensely anxious to
burlesque the dramatic and musical
absurdities of the Italian opera form
then in vogue in England, but it is
apparent that he also yielded to the
temptation to SatiriZe the corrupt
administration of justice that was
then so great national scandal. The
burlesquing of opera naturally re-
quired music, and Gay made his music
both satiric and popular at the one
stroke by adopting the popular songs
and ballads of the day and writing
new words to fit them.
THE Beggar's Opera" is essential
ly musical play. 1t introduces over
60 ballads, many of them being old at
the time the opera was written in
1927. In origin, they are old Scotch,
@iCl, lSGl, fD1lr
among them are such classics as
over the Hills and Far Away"
Chevy Chase" 'Lilliburlero," Good
Morrow, Gossip jean: Green
Sleeves" Fill Every Glass" and Gin
Thou Vert Mine AVN Thing"
These We're old and familiar songs
that were sung on the streets, but
they all had new words that carried
along the plot. Most of all, though,
they were songs that the audience
could sing if it wished, and it had
been a long time since the English
musical stage had given the people
songs they could sing. The songs
were strung alo Y on an ingenious
thread of story, nd the play was
served as mod. for long string
OF subsequent ballad operas, includ-
ing the Gilbert & sullivan canon.
The arrangement of the tunes was
left to DR.. Pepusch, famous London
musician Of the day and a rival of
Handels as popular conductor. Gay
derived a rich vein of humor from
his trick of introducing two rival So
pranos. which was done to heighten
his travesty of the italian school.
The Beggar's Opera" definitely put
into the discard the florid extravagan-
cleS of the ODera fic form tbao fosb
ionable. Opera as it had existed was
simply laughed out of existence. It
restored to English music the ballad
and the folk song that had been SO
long in eclipse, and it opened the ewes
OF the people to the possibilities of
the English tongue on the music
stage.

Examinations also were started by
a board of officers of the enlisted men
who showed marked proficiency on the
last cruises, with the idea of determin-

theories of naval practice. Those who
succeed in passing by the board will

to them a collective bargaining idea
applied to the playhouse. An agency
has been opened which hopes to at.
tain a membership of $4,000. On
receiving requests for the purchase
of theater tickets the bureau will
pool the demand for each house and
by buying from 100 to 500 tickets
at time force the theater manage
ment to give a reduced rate.
The founder of the bureau, j. S.

matte ticket-selling machine, derived
his idea from watching the operation
of New York bureaus which offer un-
sold theater tickets to patrons at
cheap rates a few minutes before the
show starts.

Six Men Charged With Preventing

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS.-Appointment of mushroom
inspectors is Paris latest move in its
vigil over the health of its citizens.
SO many cases of poisoning from
the wrong variety of mushrooms have
been reported in France during the
summer that Partisan authorities
nave named six men, who will be re.
sponsible for eliminating all deleterious
tungl. from the city's markets. They
must inspect every mushroom sold for
consumption in Paris, and, in addi-
ton. will cast an experts eye on those
brought in privately and for their own
consumption by timorous holiday max.
ers.
Mushrooms continue to be among
the most popular OF dishes. not ONLY
among the wealthy gourmets, but
among the poorer classes as we'll.
There was some falling off in the
trade early in the Fall because of the
numerous cases of poisoning, but
since the naming of inspectors it has
resumed its full swing.
