Cognoscenti complain as cognoscenti will. All is not flawless at the Metropolitan Opera House. There are many weaknesses. Excellent ensembles, a good German wing, equal to pre-War times, a wise choice of novelties to please the epicures?these are pleasant, surely, but then there exists a tendency to quantity production, to wear out the orchestra and singers: there is no French wing to speak of, no chance for the American artist.

She, the waitress, is a cute baby-face with a pleasant voice and more acting poise than her royal lover. The master-comedian, Dewolf Hopper, gives a professional air to the show and makes even the slightest wise-crack seem funny by the aid of a contorted face and voice. The rest of the cast is enthusiastic and homely enough to make the play as wholesome and hearty as a German Christians...
