daintiest and prettiest of all Mr.
Herberts compositions. " Its story- as
written by Harry B. Smith and Fred
de Gresac, lent itself by reason of
its romantic quality and picturesque
settings to thet swinging,! haunflng
melody in the writing of which Mr.
Herbert is at his best, ,? ,
The combination of stoiy' and mu
sical score resulted in giving to the
public that "best light opera in recent
years,' and one in which the nurii-J
ber and variety of songs and concert
ed numbers of real beauty have rare
ly, if ever, been equalled. ' ,
Among the scngs that have gained

Meet His Fate," a beauttf Ul sole J
which furnishes a theme that recurs
again and again in the score; The
Cricket On the Hearth," "There Is
Magic In a Smile," "Pretty As a Pic
ture," "Jeanette and Her Little
Wooden Shoes," "Mother Goose," and
. several others of equal beauty and
popularity.
The scene of the story is the quaint
old city of Bruges in Belgium and
the ancient houses, the windmills and
the canal suggest a picture of rare
beauty in the stage settings and cos
tume embellishments.
Julia Gifford, whose work in the
prima donna role in many light
operas has made her a favorite
throughout the country, will sing the
role of the Princess Sylvia, the cen
tral figure in the story. Miss Gil
ford's charming personality and the
superior quality of her vocal equip
ment make her the ideal artist for
this role. The company of sixty com
prises a complete corp of high class j
principals, a chorus of youthful
charm and a complement of orches-1

"MAID TO ORdER."
"Maid to Order',' the successful mu
sical comedy which comes to the
Academy of Music on next Saturday
matinee and night," tells a story that
is distinctly American. All of the
characters in the play are American.
It is not adopted or translated from
the French or German or built upon
any ideas derived from foreign
plays. The whole thing is essentially
American and tfiaJS perhaps, is one
reason for the - popularity of the
piece. The humor is American hu
mor. It tells a story that could hap
pen only in America because it is
only Americans who would have the
audacity to do what is done. To find
a really good musical comedy book
that makes people laugh is like look
ing" for a pearl among oysters. In
"Maid to Order" it is said the hu
mor and music are so reflective- of
'American Mfe that the audiences rev-
