The original opera is by j Charles CuviUier. The necessary ragtime I allurements are interpolated by Mai v in .Franklin and Milan Roder. The English I ! adaptation is the work of that famous j I American pioneer of the lightsome li- i bretto, Harry B. Smith. The English j ! lyrics are by Robert R. Smith. I There are some very handsome! gentle- I men and some very lovely and piquant i I ladies in the cast, but there are too many i I half-portion voices. The nearest approach 1 S to an adequate voice is possessed by , Bradford Kirkbride, who enacts the part : of Count Andre de St. Amand. The; i voices of the women are not- so good. For i I instance, there Is one young lady, very I pretty, graceful and magnetic, who has : a twittering voice with many silent j spaces between, the twitters silent spaces ! and not starry.' Yvonne Darle enacts the ! i leading feminine role, the lady of the lilac domino. The music is sweet and often brilliant-Some brilliant-Some of the songs, especially the duets ' by Yvonne Darle and Bradford Kirkbride, ! have that quality which adds wings to ! the imagination and sunlight to the soul, j Among the men particular commenda-i commenda-i tion is due Joseph Carey as Prosper, Edward Ed-ward Crawford as Casimir and Harry Hermsen as Istvan, tiie leader of a gypsy orchestra. Next to Yvonne Darle, those deserving of mention among the women are Andree Corday as the Baroness de Villier and Marie Hamilton as Leonie D' Andorcet- Dashing features of the opera ar'e the specialty dancing and the syncopated ensemble en-semble "dances.
