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.
