With pirates of
Penzance''
Bv HAROLD PHILLIPS

Most colorful and melodious
of the three operas under the
Ames banner at the Belasco this
week, is 1.-THE Pirates of Pen
zance," given the first of two
scheduled performances last
night. This is the tale, boil
stored by happy tunes, hearable
voices and raffish costume,
which finds a promising youth
apprenticed to a band of pirates,
through the error of a governess
who was told to apprentice him
to a pilot. 1t is also the incu-
bator of that indigenous chip of
the wasail bowl from which
Hail, Hail, the Gangs All
Here" derives its tune. And it
contains further that seni-comic
lament, "a Policeman's Lot is
Not a Happy One" a bit that
calls lyric attention to the burg
lars who enjoy off moments, the
cut-throats, who love the finer
things when not Sitting outlets;
aye, even to that elfish recreant
who, when he's through jump
ing on his mother" likes to bask
in the sunshine.
At the expiration of his APP
premiership, the kid pirate Is re-
leased and the beam of matrimony
Is in his eye. Great is his con.
sternation when the pirate leader
comes after him to point out that,

Never before have I seen Gill

such infinite good taste as Win
throp' Ames has caressed these
three productions. There are
people, we hear, who pay no at
tention to the schedule OF dates.
They simply go to all night and
matinee performances, much in
the manner of a maurauding kid,
in an orchard, climbing. the first
tree he meets because he knows
his apples.

 Yesterday kasko testified that Grant had admitted to him he had killed a man but had not named his victim. This morning the defense recalled the witness to the stand to ask an impeaeh- ing question. This led to two hour cross examination which only ended at the noon recess.
 The defense sought to draw out from Kasko whether he had told some local people, since his arrival here. story of his con yersation with Grant that differ ed vitally from that which he related on the stand yesterday He was asked if he had told of this conversation to Jacob Hari is and Harry Willard, had told them about picking berries on the Grant place, of meeting and talking with Grant, and if he had not failed to mention any thing about Grant having said he had killed one man.
