i
This week at the Belasco Theater the
Messrs. Shubert will present Frltzl
Scheff In ' an Important production of
Joliann Strauss' comic opera, "Jflght
Birds" (Die FledermaUB). The piece,
which has been performed In all the
capital cities of Europe, Is now a elds
sic The score Is composed of man
of the most alluring of Strauss' waltzes,
polkas, romanzas, and drinking songs,
Interspersed with richly concerted num
bers and brilliant choruses and finales.
The picturesque local Is Germany of
the last century. There aro three acts,
the home of Baron von Elsensteln, the
hall room of the Prince Orlofsky, and
the office of a prison,
Tho story of tho piece develops as the
result of a practical Joke played on tho
Baron von Elsensteln by hlb friend, Dr.
Falke.
The costumes are oddly attractive and
the supporting company Includes George
Anderson. John E. Hazzard, Frank
Kuhhworth, Frank Farrlngton, Mllbury
Ryder, Morgan "Williams, Jessie Stoner,
Hazel Cox, Edith Bradford, and Joseph
ine Brandell.
Madaino Scheff has the role of Adele,
a pretty and coquettish maid In the
homo of Baron von Elsensteln. It is
a part that she has sung not only In
Vienna, but when a member of tho Met
ropolitan Opera Company, and It Is ono
particularly suited to her gifts of com
edy, as well as her vocal accomplish
ments. The production Is on the same sump
tuous order as that of "Tho Mikado."

The cast of "Tho Mysterious Miss

entirely made up of atudents 'of the
Columbia University, and they have

its New York audience when It was
given early In March In the Hotel
Antor.
"The Mysterious Miss Anache" Is
two-act co'medy with a plat that Is run
ning over with, fun and mystery and
centers around a colonial varsity show

of a lot of counterfeiters, suspects the
leading lady of the troupe, whom he
thinks Is "Miss Apache."
However, everything comes out right.
The leading man. "The Modern Ro
meo," captivates the heart of an Amer
ican heiress, and sho supplies the
stranded company with passage money
for home and Broadway. The score
is full of catchy songs, funny dialogues,
and numerous dances. The comedians
of the show, .Blaber. as Detective Doyle;
Isbell, as Count Tobasco, and Spal
thoff, who, by the way, 1b a Washlng
tonlan, are remarkably clever. Many
specialties are Introduced, and -with the
extravagant scenery and elaborate
gowns the Columbia students have
aimed to make this last production un
usually attractive.
