three ivceks Lave passed Kiiicc tlic premiere of Leo Fall's operetta, "Tlio Artificial Man,'' occurred here (says the Berlin correspondent of llio "Musical Courier" of December 2), and now lie has produced a second novelty. It is entitled "Dio Kaiserin," and the text pictures to us Maria Ilieresa and the life of .her court as seen through the eyes of ( ;m operetta librettist. The action, howover, is not nearly 60 burlesque as is the caee with most of Leo Pall's works. Maria Theresa is represented as a genuine Viennese woman of the roceoco age, equipped with rare feminine charm, and with all of tho virtuos and some of the vicos of the average hmiian being. Tho_ score coiv tains much that is entertaining. Leo Fall has struck an interesting new note in the principal number called "The firs! dance." in which the change from the < old Vienna "Lneiuller" to tho slow ' Viennese waltz is very clover and effective. Musically that is perhaps tho A most interesting part of the oneretta. Tho chorus and orchestra are handled £ admirably, and tho soloists have every reason to he satisfied with their narts. The musical numbers probably will not become so popular as those of tho "Artificial Mail." B Never has the demand for clear-headfed t< constructive thinking in business been so urgent as it is right now. Wo are liv- - ins in n progressive age, and must take advantage of all up-to-date methods It is in savings from waste of any description that money is made to-day. and bv concentniling one's efforts on all details of our business we claim to be able to produce results for our many cream suppliers. We want more cream. Can you f supplv ns? Further particulars, Wanga- 1. ,wu Fiesh Food Co.-Advt, La
