Of this opera, the Auckand Herald of Saturday morn- , ing, November 26th. says “It is not surprising that “The Liilac Domino had a run of three years in London. Playgoers will welfcome in it, a return to the higher standard which precepted the era of flrivolous ragtime tunes allied with farcial librettos which were largely the outcome of post-war hysteria. They will note in *this work, moreover, improvements on the higher standard referred to. ‘•The Lilac Domino” is replete with surprises.
