Operetta
Is Short of
Expectations
Performance at
Water Gate Fails
To Pick Up Life
Ry ALICE EYERSMAN.

There is hardly any one past the
first flush of youth who, when REM
iniscing, will not delight in living
over again some performance of a
Gilbert and Sullivan opera played
by a clever cast and chuckle still
at the amusing impersonations. The
youth of today is also finding it a.
wonderful medium for its sense of
fun even in the out-moded refer
ences that are the gist of the libret-
toS. There has, in fact, grown UP
a cult OF Gilbert and Sullivan with
members young and old. To these,
with cherished ideas of how the
famed operas should be played, the
performance of the Daltry troupe of
THE Pirates of Penzance" at the
Water Gate last evening must have
been great disappointment.
The 46th sunset symphony per-
formance marked the first time the
National Symphony Orchestra COL
laborated with light opera presen-
tation. The group of young singers
under the direction of Joseph S.
Daltry, also conductor of the or
chestra last evening, came widely
heralded as an up-and-coming rival
OF the famed English ensemble that
has endeared itself to the Gilbert
and Sullivanites of this country.
They have still long way to go
before the Doyle Carte Co. need
worry. However smooth the general
presentation, the particular and in
imitable spirit that every devotee
demands was lacking.
Fails to Pick Up Life.
The performance began with
rather a staid playing of the over
ture and only in spots departed from
this spiritual tempo. There may
have been unknown difficulties as
regards the site of the Water Gate,
the stage, or the amplification, but
even when these were apparently
functioning well, the performance
did not pick up life.
Colorful costuming and effective
enough scenery made a pretty pic
ture and several of the cast did
their utmost to put over the comedy
portions. That the group has not
outgrown its amateurish status even
after more than two years of tour
ing, was evident as the opera pro-
gressed. The comedy sense of the
group was not equal to the finesse
that the clever lines and gay tones
required. Much of the text was
inaudible. which may have been due
to the amplification, although the
diction of the singers was never
especially distinct.
Carlton Bentley Peer.
From a vocal standpoint, Carlton
Bentley as Frederick was the peer.
He also played the role with gusto.
Evening star., 1940-08-05

Janet Webb as Mabel has q high,
strong voice marred by a fiat and
sometimes shrill tone, while Walter
Tibbetts as the Pirate Chief and
Anne Dawson as Ruth both had rich
vocal quality of darker hue. Acting
honors went to Frank Herman as
Maj. Gen. Stanley, his portrayal
bringing the only authentic Gilbert
and Sullivan touch in the cast.
The chorus was a large one and
sang and acted with spirit. It's
contribution was considerable one,
including also picturesqueness and
the vivacity of its members helped
to brighten the tone of the perform
ance. Others in the cast were Mary
Olmstead, Reta Baum and Marilois
Ditto as Gen. Stanley's daughters,
Merrill Cook as sergeant of police
and Ernest Eames, the lieutenant of
the Pirate Chief.
Wednesday evening Trial by
Jury" and III. M. S. Pinafore" will
be given, with new singers to be
heard in the leading roles. Mr..
Daltry again will conduct,

everybody was In evening
DRESS Tacoma really used
TO dress" In those days. And
after the performance, Iheo-
dore Hosmer. president OF the
theater company, was host at
q dinner at the Tacoma hotel
for "some OF the ladies and
gentlemen Of the company,
Manager J. W. Hanna and a
number of friends.
II was indeed gay occasion
and an suspicious beginning Of a
week OF light opera with the
house filled every night.
The orchestra also came in for
a great deal of praise from the
newspapers. S. W. Driseoll wa,
the conductor and played first
violin.
Another first violin was a
young man named Ole Bull.
scarcely less talented than
his famous namesake." He
became a permanent resident
of Tacoma and was for many
years a leader in music af-
fairs here.
That night of Jan. Is, 1890,
was the beginning Of a period
of gaiety that to some extent
took the minds of the people
off the shadows that were be-
ginning to flash across the
financial horizon.
The week of comic opera was
followed shortly by the Emma
Juch Opera company with 4
period of grand operas. After
that came DeWolfe Hopper.
Francis Wilson, and 4 little
later, Lillian Nordica, Walker
Whiteside, and other stars Of
that period.
One Of the most spectacular
presentations at the Tacoma
theater in that period before the
motion picture superseded the
spoken drama, was the drama
tization of Ben Hur" Tacoma
was one of few cities in the west
with a theater stage large
enough to put on the chariot
race in which Ben Hur, the
Jew, and MESSIAH, the Roman,
drove their Arab racers around
the arena to settle an old
grudge.
With the drivers urging them
on, the two teams galloped
across the stage on a specially
constructed moving platform.
The lights flashed out for a mo-
ment just as Ben Hur's chariot
was about to swerve into Mes
sala and the audience got only
the sound of the crash that
crippled the Roman for life.
Many who read this will re-
call great occasions at the Ia
coma theater and wish for a
return of some of the things
that made those the good old

much as to prevent a third term

faction might concievably throw
their strength are Cordell Hull.
Senator Wheeler, Jesse II. Jones
or House Majority Leader Sam
Rayburn.
The get tough with Japan
diplomats at Washington may
have to do some backpedaling,
sidestepping and explaining when
our commercial treaty with
Tokyo expires on January rs.
Realistic economics-and bread
and-butter politics-will hardly
permit the U. S. to abolish trade
relations with our third best Gus
toner.
Full enforcement on both sides
would throttle all trade between
the two countries. Japan would
suffer severely, especially be-
cause OF the wars effect on her
world markets, but American
shipping, industrial and agricul-
tural interests would be badly
damaged. Silk with a retail value
of more than $500, 000, 900 il
proeessed here annually. II fur
nishes direct and indirect en-
ployment TO at least 400, 900 peo-
pie. and utilities some $500, ooo,-
900 of machinery. Japan con-
sumes yearly 40 per cent more
cotton than is produced in the
state OF Oklahoma, giving work
TO several additional hundred
thousand. In 1888 Japanese trade
brought 81 here for every Amer
lean dollar spent in Japan.
With unemployment rolls still
high - with shipping adversely
affected by the neutrality act
the administration can hardly
afford TO toss away this trade.
Secretary Hull may stick to his
refusal to negotiate q new tres-
ty. but Henry Morgenthau. with
presidential o. X. can quietly
fail to impose penalties pending
a Encouragement of relations. II
will amount to a diplomatic slap
that viii leave no economic
marks, and be mutually satisfac-
tory to Tokyo and Washington

The most important political

was National Chairman Farley's

opment which the politicos still
are bordering. 1t derives its
chief significance from the fur
Their fact that Jim's friends have
been advising him to declare
himself in the presidential race
without waiting for FDR TO an
nounce or renounce.
What's more, Jim took the dare
simultaneously with the Jackson
Wallace speeches urging demo-
cratic rivals not to crowd the
man in the White House until
he had moved over. Thus Jim
ranged himself alongside the only
two men TO proclaim their candi-
dates in spite Of Messrs. jack
son, Wallace and Roosevelt.
Some democrats thought they
detected a note Of disparagement
or at least a pstronizing tone
in the presidents mocking
mention of candidates here and
candidates there" His glorifi-
cation of the independent voter,
as well as his sideswipes at
political organizations" were
also interpreted as a retaliatory
blow at such straight-ticket SOL
diers as Jim and Jack and Ben
nett. So now it's war between
the party regulars and the New
Deal volunteers-the Old Guard
and the Roosevelt Guard.
The Garner-Clark strategy has
now become obvious. They want
TO clutter up the primaries and
the convention with as many
candidates as possible so as TO
block any third term move. Mr..
Farley apparently sympathizes
with their scheme, but how far
he can afford to jog along with
them against his presidential pal
Is still a ''self-made riddle" An

Almost every experienced
democratic leader on and off

president can force his renomina-

systematically enough Even
anti-New Deal senators IN the
South dare not oppose him open

stop him. in the opinion OF the
Garner-Clark camp. is 10 deter
him from making the effort. And
they believe they can do so by
warning the president that, II he
wants q third try, he win have
10 engage in an undignified and
unseemly party brswl. They do
not feel he would participate in
bare-knuckled political fisticuffs
in these troublous times al home
and abroad.
These developments have con-
fused rather than clarified the
Democratic situation. The i'm
