American Opera Company Opens Tuesday at
Gallo Theatre With "Faust."

The American Opera Company
makes its debut next Tuesday at The
Gallo Theatre with Vladimir Rosing,
as@its director Some new innovations
IN stage setting and lighting have
been devised by Robert Edmund Jones
sand Norman Edwards, and new Eng
fish texts. many of them by Robert
A. Simon.
"Faust' which will be the first
onera presented Tuesday night, with
he old stage devil with horn and tail
has all the negative forces of life.
TIE is different character in each
net. the Mr.. Hyde to Faust's DR..
Eekvll. Faust himself is played by two
different actors. The aged philosopher
is one man. When transformed into
romantic youth he is another with
fuller voice. The role Of Siebel, usu-
ally sung by q mezzo-soprano, is sung
by tenor.
MADAME Butterfly" will alternate
with "Faust" during the first of the
seven weeks engagement of the Amer
ican Company Frank St. Leger will
conduct. The true Japanese settings
and stage business" have been worked
out by Michio Ito.
The casts follows: Faust; Patrick
Killkelly, Clifford Newdall, George
Fleming Houston, Mark Daniels, Edi-
son Rice, Natalie Hall, Brownie Peeb-
les. MADAME Butterfly; Ceceile

one hundred percenter. But essenti-
ally it is war only that contents it
self in being strictly pacifist preach
ment. You will not find in ''The
Enemy" even the stark realism Of
another phase of war that was so
effectively played in "The Big Par
ade." And in it's own field "The
Enemy" could have easily gone at
east this far without any danger to
profit. Here you will find some
reason for the fact that even such
notorious reactionaries as Col. House
could find words of praise for "The
Enemy" when it ran as play for a
whole year on Broadway.
All of which is no blanket con-
demnation of this picture. 1t is de-
serving in its many qualities. There
are spots of realism, there is acting
of unusually high order and all these
despite the pacifistic shortcomings
of "The Eenemy," put it high among
the better grade recent films.

her plan fails. She takes the lover
away from her mother but falls in
love with him herself. While the
story sounds (and is) without any
great originality, the superior method
in which it is put across gives it an
unusually interesting flavor.
Miss Young in the stellar role is
always dynamic. Whenever she is on
the stage the play has a certain fast
tempo that keeps the audience on the
alert.
In addition to those already named
the rest of the supporting cast do
their share to bolster up the produc-
ton. Special mention must be made
of Wilfred Lucas as the husband and
Leila Frost who portrays the flapper
daughter to perfection.
The settings by Yellenti are
beautifully done:-S. A. P.

What harm was there in it? True,
he had not come to this casino
for feminine adventure. lie had
come here because thare was to
be a party at the great house on
the cliffs where he was visiting.
He felt so awkward at parties, so

all, something of a stick-"You'd

evening.

chance, down here at the public
casino, about to do with a COM
