STUDENT PRINCE
 AT PARSONS
Special Company to Present
 Popular Opera

Almost everybody who has seen the production of "The Student Prince" either in Hartford or elsewhere has said. That is the best opera l have ever seen in my life" To those who love opera comique and have been waiting these long years for American com posers. producers, artists. directors and librcttists to give us one in which is all that is ideal in this form of entertainment. "The Student Prince" seems li6" a dazzling gift something too good to be true an unbelievable joy.
 The score is filled with such beau tiful numbers one can scarcely pick out any outstanding aria or chorus and say, here is the prize song of the opera. But the Screnade is one of those things of immortal tonal beauty and thrilling rhythm, which which will surely live as long as the classic Scrcrado of Franz Schubert. The Drinking Song of the student corps is another that is destined 10 be heard even generations to come. Then there is duet between the Prince and kathio, Deep in My Heart, Dear" which will go echo ing down the corridors of time, and grand dramatic aria for the Prince at the close of the third act. What Momorics,' which is going to rank as one of the greatest ever com posed, for a tenor in opera, while Golden Days Just We Two" and "Garlands Bright" will long finger in the memory.
 The company which comes to the Parsons Thcatrr, Monday. Scptem- Der 23 for three nights and We'd ncsday matinee is made mp of the | best vocal and dramatic talent of tn" preceding comp panics. All of the cast havo played their roles for at least two seasons.
