THE BILL NYE'S NEW OPERETTA. I have just returned, says Bill Nye, in the New York World, from a private rehearasal of a new oper- etta of which I am the author, and hasten to write a fair, honest criti- cism of it for the press. In this criticism I shall try to be perfectly frank to mention any defects and yet I shall try to avoid hurting the author's feelings. I want to score the operetta with a merciless hand, and yet I do not wish to give my self needless pain. The operetta itself is called “The Singed Cat,” because it is really so much better than The music was composed partly by myself and partly by a count who plays upon the ferry-boats in sum- mer and has his winter to himself. He does not wish to have his name used, because, as he siys, he is afraid that “foreign powers will get onto it and make him come back to attend to the count business again.” He says it is very disa. greeable to be a count and live on a long, slim pedigree and what the neighbors bring in from time to time. The orchestra opens the perform- ance with a selection from the “Flying Dutchman.” Difficult it may appear, the orchestra makes a good selection from this gentle- man, and it is played well after everything is ready. It takes some little time for an orchestra to get ready, however. The bites off the first joint of the clario as man who net breathes a few liquid notes, | the first violin sounds “A” and the gentelman with the bassoon looks | up into its dark recesses to see if any cayenne or kittens have been | deposited there since he played last. The superintendent of the large violin staads it upon end aod | feels of its staccato. He then chalks his bow and the leader whis. pers in a low voice to the man who | salivates the cornet. The snare- | drum soloist gets his assortment of drums into a semi-circle, hangs his | triangle where he. can get at it, runs his eye over the xylophone, sleigh-bells, bird-call, picket-fencs, bones, castanet, cymbals, Swiss bells, and fortissimo. ~ The leader writes his autograph in the atmos phere with his stick and the band goes into committee of the whole with a wild snort. A difficult piece then follows. Some of the audi. eoce are heard to state that they wish it had been so difficult that the orchestra could not have play. ed it. The curtin now rises, and a pri- mary school of over eight hundred pupils is seen passing in review across the stage, singing a song of forty-nine verses, meantime going through a system of calis henics, In mading one night stands with “The Binged Cat” most any prima ry sshoo! will do, with a few rehear-. sals for this chorus. Get these children secured in advance, and all their parents will come to see how the children look on the stage. I thought of this myse'f.
