"Natja" Added to List
of Successful Operettas
MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW
siastic comments failed to do "Natja" justice
through the fact that they were limited to vari-
ous portions of the offering which particularly
appealed to the critic when reviewing the piece.
"Natja" is presented with a symphony orches-
tra of fifty pieces and will be noted not only
for a quality of the singing voices of the stars
of the play, but of each and every member
of the chorus. The orchestra is under the di-
rection of Max Hirschfeld.
The singing roles were handled by competent
voices. Miss Mary Mellish, recently of the Met-
ropolitan Opera House; George Reimherr, who
is widely known as concert singer, and Miss
Madeline Collins, playing "Natja," come to this
country after a wide operatic experience in Eng-
land and with the Gallo Opera Companies here.
The settings, while elaborate, are in keeping
with the atmosphere of the piece. It is of the
caliber of the new operatic offerings which are
meeting with such wide approval, with the ex-
ception that it carries a better book, better
music, better voices and more tense dramatic
situations.
There are numerous vocal selections which
undoubtedly will have a wide sale not only this
season but for several seasons to come. In-
cluded in these are "I Hear Love Call Me,"
"The Magic of Moonlight and Love," "A Lady
Who Lives for Love," "Ups and Downs," "Hon-
or and Glory," "In My Homeland," "Beside the
Star of Glory," "Eyes That Haunt Me" and
"There Is a Garden in Loveland." Leo Feist,
Inc., are the publishers of the score.

tre, New York City, on Monday evening of this
week.
,The show, which has been given some pre-
liminary performances in Philadelphia and other
cities, was preceded in New York by exception-
ally glowing jeports and these, it may be said,
did not in any way overestimate the merit "of
this offering. If anything, the terse and enthu-

MASTERPIECE

THE
Joseph l'lunkett, who is responsible for the
many attractive musical prologues that precede
the pictures at the Mark Strand Theatre, New
York, has again attracted attention with the
musical presentation in conjunction with the
showing of the photoplay, "A Thief in Para-
dise." In this instance the Sam Fox Publishing
Co. number, "Moon Dream Shore," was used
for the musical theme. The setting was a scene
in tropical atmosphere. Everett Clark, the
talented tenor, rendered "Moon Dream Shore"
in an impressive manner. The combination of
the setting and the singing placed the audiences
in a most receptive mood for the feature pro-
duction which followed, the opening scene of

Dream Shore" was also used as the love theme
during the presentation of the picture proper.
This is only one of the many uses being made
of this successful love song. It is now one of

It is very seldom that a music publisher is
congratulated by the dealer on the receipt of
new issues. Rightly or wrongly such ship-
in e IT t s of new goods are generally looked upon
as an added nuisance. Occasionally, however,
publishers do iiear some favorable comments,
but none of these have probably been more en-
thusiastic than that recently received by Chap-

known music man of Dallas, who said:
