Ballad on the Way.
The great revival of the light opera success
"Robin Hood" by Harry B. Smith and Reginald de
Koven, which was sung over 4,000 times by the
famous Bostonians, will be presented to the public
for the first time at the New Amsterdam Theater
on Monday evening, May G. The revival will be
notable in that the Metropolitan Opera Co., Covent
Garden, and the Philadelphia and Chicago Opera
companies have been drawn upon for artists to fill
the principal roles and for the chorus. The Metro-
politan Opera House orchestra Will furnish the
music. Special scenery and costumes of an elabo-
rate character are now being prepared for the
production and every detail will be perfect, even
to live deer and expert archers. According to
the present plans the cast will be as follows:
Robin Hood, Walter Hyde; Will Scarlet, Basil
Ruysdael; Little John, Carl Gantvoort; Sheriff of
Nottingham, Edwin Stevens; Friar Tuck, George
B. Frothingham; Sir Guy of Gisborne, Sidney
Bracy; Maid Marian, Bella Alten; Alan-a-Dale,
Florence Wickham; Dame Durden, Pauline Hall,
and Annabelle, Ann Swinburne. Daniel V. Arthur
is directing the entire production.

Recent Addition to "The Musician's Library"
Up to the Usual High Standard of the Dit-
son Publications.
A recent Ditson publication is "Little Journeys
in Toneland, with Excursions Into Surrounding
Keys," by Susan Schmitt. This volume is planned
to assist the teacher in systematically leading the
child along its first steps, as it means not only to
train the hands but also the ear and imagination—
two vital points only too often overlooked. It is
the outcome of many years of experience in teach-
ing, and its little melodies and transpositions
awaken in the child a sense of tonality and also
quicken the memory. This is a volume that should
be in the hands of every teacher, particularly those
having to do with the development of the child
mind in music.
MILLION COPY HIT
Chas. K. Harris is adding a goodly number of
attractive songs to his catalog besides the several
new ballads of his own composition. Among the
new publications that will be offered to the trade
at an early date are to be included "Bring Back
My Bonnie to Me," by Leo Edwards; a new song
by Marshall and Murphy, the writers of "Bless
Your Ever Loving Little Heart," entitled "Let's
All Go Up to Mollie's," and "Bye and Bye," by
Blanche Merrill and Leo Edwards. And there
must not be forgotten the new Harris ballad,
"Fifty Times a Day," which is some ballad. "Climb
a Tree With Me," the publication of which was
recently announced, will be received from the
printers within a week or so.
"Louisiana Lou," the clever musical comedy, for
which Chas. K. Harris has the publishing rights,
and which has enjoyed a prolonged and profitable
run in Chicago, leaves that city next month for a
tour of the West as far as the Pacific Coast.
"Twenty Elementary Vocalizes for Soprano or
Mezzo Soprano" is the title of a book just issued
by the Oliver Ditson Co., Boston, Mass., and writ-
ten by Louise K. Novelli. It is an admirably pre-
pared volume of exceeding interest to all desirous
of perfecting their vocal technique.
