NEW LEHAR OPERA A SUCCESS
Composer to Conduct "The Blue Mazur" When
Presented in New York Next Fall
Reports from Vienna are to the effect that
Franz Lehar's new opera, "The Blue Mazur,"
which has been produced at the Wiener Theatre,
shows the composer at his best, and reflects an
abundance of brilliant orchestration and melo-
dious invention. The new piece resembles a
grand cpera in character, and the section of the
music that made the strongest appeal included
a quintet, a dreamy waltz song, and a stirring
inarch. "The Blue Mazur" will be produced in
America next Fall, with Lehar conducting in
person.
