V RID AY EVENING, "SWEETHEARTS" IS DELIGHTFUL OPERA Christie Mac Donald, Charming as the Lost Princess, Captivates Audience at Majestic When Victor Herbert writes the music for un opera, one may rest as sured that it takes more than an or dinary voice or group ot voices to ao justice to It. Just MO with "bweet hearts," presented last nignt at the .Majestic with Christie Macuonaid in the leaning role. vV hue ' Sweethearts" cannot stand on a musical par with some of Her bert's earlier operas, it is no less ex acting in the quality ot voice required i tor interpretation. With such de mands, it is but natural to expect that the principals and cast would live up to tiie requirments. And they illd in every vva>. ihe chorus o£ "Sweet hearts stands second to none with the possible exception ot thai, in tne Her oert revival of "Robin Hooa heard here earlier in the season. The chorus was in every respect worthy and capa ble 01 presenting the music In a htgniy artistic manner, and judged atone lroiii the standpoint ol VOCBJ ability, was so lar abo\e the ordinary thai comparison is well nigh Impossible. "sweethearts ' is a "light opera writ ten around the lite ot a losi princess. It seems to be Christie Mac-Donald a lot to be ever playing such R role, but there is no wonder to be attached to t&at, for she is ever charming in that capacity. Of course there are a lot of counter plots which sustain the Interest until tne curtain (ails; all of them so well woven tnan tnere is a real interest, aside irom tne music. Christie MacDonaiu s supporting cast was one of most excellent cali ber. Edwin Wilson as Franz, the heir presumptive, was her leading man. Mr. \> ilson won the audience with his singing particularly in "For Kvery Lover, ' and in "The Angrelus." Mr. Wilson's voice is one of rare beau ty and range and was heard to excel lent advantage in his numbers. Th«; score supplied Miss Mac Donald with some excellent numbers, but she was apparently suffering from a heavy cold which markedly affected her singing, especially in her upper register. The otner members of the cast, notably Echlin Gayer as Hon. Percy Algernon Slingsby, Ralph Xarin as Mikel Mlk eloviz, Anne Hussert as l.lane. Maude Beatty as Dame Paula supported .\liss Mac Donald in a most commendable manner. All in all, "Sweethearts" was, it is fair to say, the most beautifully pre sented, well sunst, operetta presented here this season. MAX ROBERTSON.
