so American audiences would
more readily understand the
meaning. But even that slight
change retained the complete
fluidity of the lines.
"One thing we have discovered
in planning these new Gilbert
and Sullivan productions is that
they cost about four times as
much to raise the opening cur
tains as when I first started on
Broadway in about 1894"
Although the D'Oyly Carte
Company lost n performers
when the Savoy Theater closed
its doors last season, the COM
pany is planning to continue as
a D'Oyly Carte enterprise. Fred
eric Lloyd. the general manager,
will arrive in New York Octo-
ber q to arrange for a new
American tour.
Also, to delight the ardent
Gilbert and Sullivan audiences,
a large number Of single produc-
tions Of the operas are being
planned this season by musical
society groups, university play
ers, little theaters and other en-
thusiasts for these musicals Of
lightness and laughter.

Leave it to the screen lovelies

Mayo to advise standing on
ones head for figure improve
ment and relaxation.
Virginia, who claims she does
the head-stand five minutes

nothing to do with Yogiism but
is strictly her own recipe for
keeping those curves at their
best and, above all. relieving
nervous tension.

NEW YORK.
The field Of Gilbert and Sulli-
van operas is being consider
ably expanded on Broadway
and on tour this season. Two
national companies and scores
of local troupes are beginning
preparations for engagements
which will extend well into
next spring.
The first Of the national
companies to be heard will be
s. M. Chartock's American Gill
bert and Sullivan Company,
which will include Martyr
Green, Ella Halman and several
other singers from the British
D'Oyly Carte Opera Company
in its cast.
Except for these, the prin-
cipals and singing ensemble
will be American singers.
"The first tour of this COM
pany," Chartock said as he
started rehearsals, "has been
booked for 40 weeks.
1--WE will do The Mikado,'
Iolanthe,' and a double bill of
'Pinafore' and The Pirates of
Penzance.'
1--WE will come back and re-
peat those bills in some of the
key cities. Right now this troupe
is booked 40 weeks a year for
the next four years. During
those years. we will play in at
least A States. The tours are
being planned under an ar
rangement with the American
Heart Association which will
share in the profits"
Chartock has been producing
"The Mikado" and other Gilbert
and Sullivan operettas in the
United States for more than Is
years, but this new company
goes out with the added strength
OF Green and other former
D'Oyly Carte stars. Opening in
New Haven and Boston begin
ming October l, it will come to
the Mark Hellinger Theater on
Broadway October 20. The coast
to-coast tour starts in Phila-
delphia November II.
Our company is holding close
to tradition and playing the de-
tails as Gilbert and Sullivan
specified they should be played"
Chartock said. "The single
change we made was to substi-
tute 'Hoboken' for Kings

In fact, she insisted on having

Glenn's face has been familiar

said. "She used to dance on
the boats with her father.
II worked a water taxi-I was

remember it until Rita reminded
me when we made 'Gilda.'
