* THEATRICAL. *
?A real comic opera properly pre?
sented Is always ? treat, and such
treats have been scarce In these
parts of late. "The Free ljuice"
Is a comic opera constructed In reg?
ulation style, with a unique und
cleverly worked-oul story, bright
jingling lyrics and breexy. stirring
music, and Is presented in the ex?
cellent style topical of Klaw &
Erlanger productions. John Phillip
Sousa is responsible for the music
and, although there Is nothing in
the score to add to the "March
King's" laurels, all of the music Is
pleasing and some of t,he airs tire
beautiful. Tho book Is by Hurry
B. Smith, the author of "Robin
Hood" and various other great com?
ic opera successes. Like the com?
poser, Mr. Smith has not put his
reputation a notch higher by "The
Free Lance;" yet he has lost none
or his humor and still knows how
to tell u pretty little love story.
The plot, for the book contains
something of a plot, was told in
these columns Sunday.
The large audience that gathered
at the Academy of Music lost nigh!
to enjoy and applaud "The Free
Lance" will remember the clever
people composing the company
even more pleasantly than the opera
itself. Heading the cast was .In;
eph Cawthorne. lrreslstably funny
with his German brogue and geninl
countenance, and able to make a
rather poor topical soag send the
audience into fits of merriment.
There were half n ilozen people
In tho cast who deserve more than
a passing comment. George Schiller,
ns the Emperor of Bracgadocla. and
Albert Hart, ns the Dul:e of Graftla
na, with truly wonderful make-ups
and excellent baritone and- bass
voices, respectively, came near shar-j
Ing honors with the Btar In the
male comedy work. Mlrs JeannottoJ
I^owrie, as the Goose Girl, was half
the life of the show She is a
comedienne of breezy Methods and
rivals Cawthorne III the art of sing?
ing n topical song.
Miss Nellie Bergen i.- a charming
Princess Yoland. She has a
winning personality aid possesses
a highly cultivated saprano voice
of great range, purit) and woet
nesi'. Her voice, as well ns the
tenor T. W. Tallman, tho Prince
Florian, is far above the average
heard in comic opera. M> Tallman
Iiis exceptionally stron; and . melo?
dious tenor and Kecim to be an
actor although he has little acting
to do in this piece.
Supporting the prln;ipnls Is a
strong mixed chorus. The girls are.
not pretty, as the niuiical comedy
fiend would demand, fill they can
sing and* are splendidly drilled.
The production Is all that can 1k
desired as far as erst nines and
scenery are concerned. Tho score
was- rendered dellghtf illy by the
company's orchestra, atgmonted by
Prof. Smith and several bf the Imune
musicians.
Mrs. W yrjs Tonight.
Madge' Carr Cock, who made a
deep impression la tho title role
or "Mvtt. Wlggs or tho Cabbage
Patch" last year, returns to the
Academy tonight la this play.
Tho homoly, wholesome phlloso
phy with the (imtlnt sayings and
>'?'! an optimism that cannot be
subdued under the most depressing
circumstances, is uplifting and at
the same time thoroughly amusing.
".Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage Patch"
Is a homely story of humanity and
renl goodness, honesty und rlfjCit
purpose, with a pardon In sight for
every sinner who looks for It.
In addition to the character of
Mrs. Wlggs the Mb* Hazy of Vivhi
Ogden, tho Mr. Stubbing of Charles
Carter, the Mrs. Mohorn or Helen
Raymond, tho Mrs. Schultz of Anne
Fluids, nie all humorous to u degree.
The pathetic role of l.overy Mary
Is In t?? capable hands of IC.lith
Tnlla ferro.
There are thirty in the east and
oven the goat and "Cuhy" tho "lit
horse," bid for populur approval.
Tho scenery Is not elaborate In
tho sense of being tdiowy but It Ib
descriptive or humble surroundings
and preserves tho atmosphere of
the play.
"The Prince of Pll6en."
"Tho Prime of Pilsen" probably
has contributed more to flic gaiety
of nations than any other musical
comedy or American authorship,
Under Manager Henry W. Savage's

as Mr. Ededon Is presenting a play!
which is conceded to bo one ot flio

Tho play Is a comedy drama in
