‘IOLANTHE’ ON VIEW TODAY AT ENGLISH’S The Smartest High-Hat Fun of Gilbert and Sullivan Is to Be Found in Their Idea of ‘The Peer and the Peri’ 5 .ere for Two Performances. BY WALTER I). HICKMAN T HE smartest high-hat Jun that Gilbert and Sullivan have given us is to he found in “lolanthe” or “The Peer and the Peri.” The Winthfop Arnos’ Gilbert and Sullivan production of lolanthe is on view this afternoon and tonight only at English \s.

As we are least acquainted Shubert at Cincinnati last week and saw this company in it. It is important that we realize in sufficient that these classics of Gilbert and Sullivan are

on view at English’s this week. I again call your attention to these operas and I take the liberty to recommend "lolanthe” as done by this company as the smartest fun in satire that we have had here in ma y seasons. Vera Ross is seen as the Fairy Queen and she has a chance to use her splendid voice in a number of lovely tunes. She was

splendid in “The Mikado,” but she is magnificently grand in “lolanthe.” In this opera -you have Fred Wright as the Lord Chancellor and I think that he is at his best in tiffs role. The chorus of peers and ot/her members of parliament who become fairies is the best ever assembled. Here is fine fun, beautiful melodies presented by a most capable company. I am making a plea that if you want the best that you at least see “lolanthe” today at English's. The history of “lolanthe” is explained by the Ames’ management in the program as follows: November 25, 1882. was a aala night for theatergoers in London and New York for •'lolanthe” had its first performance coincidentally in the two cities. Owing to the difference in time, the curtain rose

with this Opera, I went to the here five hours later than in London, and transcripts of a cable describing the enthusiastic wclfomc accorded "lolanthe" overseas were handed the New York audience as they entered the old Standard theater. At that time there was no international copyright law. and once a dramatic composition was publicly produced in either country, it was anybody’s property in the other. "Pinafore.” first produced in London. had been thus pirated in America. At one time there were fortv-two companies playing it throughout the United States, and of all the enormous receipts, the authors received not a penny. Naturally they cast about for a rernedv. Thir next opera, "Pirates of Penzance,” was produced first in this country, the authors coming to New York for the purpose, and, in fact, finishing it in that city. "Patience” was safeguarded by having an American musician go to London, ostensibly to orchestrate the opera, take out an American copyright in ills name, and afterward transfer it to Gilbert and Sullivan. With "lolanthe,” the method of simultaneous production vaa employed. On the night in London there sat in he sialls a gallant looking gentleman named Ervc Shaw. He was Captain of the London Fire Brigade and society's darling. He was totally unprepared for the moment in the second art. when the Fnirv Queen turns from extolling the Sentry's charms, with the words: "Oh. Captain Shawl Type of true love kept under! Could thv brigade, with cold cascade Quench mv great love. I wonder?” The audience discos ered his presence, and their mirth at this contusion was great. One wonders what the New York first-nighters made of it. It is said that Gilbert was fearful that Americans night not have a clear notion of British party methods, or even the name- of tile English parties. But. he was reassured to find the Republicans and Democrats recognizing their British counterparts and delighting in the sentry's song: "I often think it's comieal How nature always does contrive That ev'rv bov and ev'rv gal That's born into this worid alive Is either a ilttl* Liberal Or else a little Conservative!" “lolanthe” is on view twice today at English's and on Thursday night “Tift Pirates of Penzance” will be the offering. Other theaters today offer: “Rose-Marie” at Loew's Palace; "The Spotlight Revue” at Keith's; “A Night of Mystery” at the Apollo;

Settle Declares M’NaryHaugen Bill Should Be Passed. Five reasons why it is vitally necessary to the farmers and the nation that the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill be passed by Congress were outline for the directors of the Indiana State Fa.fn Bureau Federation Tuesday by William H. Settle, president, who has just returned from Washington. “The reasons that this bill is of the utmost necessity to the nations.” Settle said, are: "The social and political stability of the nation requires an agrarian policy which makes possible the continuance of the institutions of independent land-owning farmers. “Common justice requires equality for agriculture with industry. No means has been suggested without government subsidy for providing it other than as proposed through the principles of this bill. “A sustained farm purchasing power is of first importance to the industries and labor of the nation. Industrial exports are incidental and constitute less than 5 per cent of our commerce. “Settle declared that to deny the farmers relief legislation would be equivelant to denying them an opportunity to enjoy American standards of living.” ASK PARALLEL PARKING seek lo Eliminate Congestion on Virginia Ave. Flat to curb parking on Virginia Ave., will be provided instead of fortv-fivc degrees angle if the city HAVE COLOR IN CHEEKS If your skin Is yellow—complexion pallid— tongue coated - appetite poor—you have a bad taste in your mouth—a lazy, no-good feeling- you should take olive Tablets.
