Mr. Mnckaye's book In much better than this crude and hasty outline mat cates. It has n picturesque quality, and It.i action, built though It Is upon an enlarged form ;i' the legend, has a win ning humanity. Kip is the Bame old good for naught with the lovable nature,, and 1'cierkec, thrust Into the tale by tho lfbrcttlst, Is a oympathellc addition. Hut In regard to tho literary quality of tlm book there Is less praise lo be uttered than was given to "The Canterbury Pil grims." Mr. de Koven, who unfortunately was taken away before his opera had clearly defined Its place on the American stage, to too experienced a writer for the theatre to make the blunder of en deavoring to composo what, the Italians cajl an "opera serla." Tlw title "folk" opera must be kept always In mind. The composer evidently did not at anv moment lost Right of the nature of an old wives' tale.V The first act at any rate Is frankly made for the popular ear. It contains tmich.choral music of operetta, type, two effective solos for Itlp, one for KatHna, one for the Oooje 0lrj and two for JYfrrfcer. The finale Is excellently worked up. If any fault Is to be found It Is that there Is not enough contract in i no mupic. it Is all ttio pretty. One yearns for a single stavo of irlmneja a ion: ieo urnsteln. for Instance. Tho character ot the music did not change In tbe subsequent nets. It was plainly not Mr. de Koven's Intention to ute any of the tricks of the composer of serious legendary operas In delineating tho abodes of mystery or the personali ties of ghostly people, He -doubtless had DIED.
