DETROIT OPERA HOl'iK.
Robert Hilliard will be presented by
Klsw and Erlanger In the Detroit opera
how*-, nvxt week. In hla most famous
success, "A Fool There Was.” It has
had IS New York revivals within three
years and ha* established new box of
fice records In several cities "A Fool
There Was" vitalises Sir Philip Burne-
Jones’ famous picture of the vampire
woman and her dead dupe, which in
spired Kipling to write hls poem of
the fool who loved "a rag and a bon#
and a hank of hair." It Is a curious
blend of comedy, melodrama and trag
lfr. Hilliard personates s man of
distinction bound abroad on a diploma
tic mission. The vital action begins
goon the deck of a big open steamship
about to sail. There is the busy move
ment of officers, crew and passengers.

It is conceded that two of the most*
