Produced for the first time in Paris in 1840, later in London, when Jenny Lind created the part, it became very popular. Sulpice, a grizzled old sergeant of the 21st Regiment of Napoleon’s Army, finds a little girl lying beside her dead father on the battle. field. The old man takes the child into camp-she is adopted by ihe regiment, and later follows the profession of a vivandiere. Sergeant Sulplice has in his possession a letter addressed to the Countess of Berkenfeldt, which he took from the knapsack of the dead soldier, and he believes this letter to contain the secret of the girl’s parente. Events move on, and when, the army is stationed in the Tyrol, Marie, the Daughter of the Regiment, meets with a young peasant named Tonio, and falls in love. He, to be near her, joins the 21st, but complications arise preventing their marriage. The Countess of Berkenfeldt having at last reccived the old letter sent her by Sulpice, arrives to claim Marie as her daughter. She is taken away to live in a castle, but cannot settle to the new life, and is impatient of all that separates her from the regiment. She longs for the drums and trumpets of the 21st, and remains constant to Tonio throughout the years that elapse. One day the well-known sounds of the band are heard-it is her own regiment, under the command of Tonio, promoted from the ranks for bravery and good conduct. A joyous reunion and eventually a consent from the haughty Countess, and Marie becomes the wife of Tonio, and once again is in touch with her beloved régiment, Cast: Marie (Daughter of the Regiment)-Miss Nancye Hanna, ‘Tonio-Mr. Robert Peter.
