According to Julian Mitchell, the well-known
theatrical manager, of Hamlin, Mitchell & Fields,
"the day of the musical show in any of the vari-
ous forms, whether it l:e comic opera or musical
comedy or musical farce, has not passed, and
never will pass. I think musical productions
have advanced in a number of ways in the past
twenty years, and in others it has not. I doubt
if the books of musical shows could be any worse
than they are now. They have always been bad,
but with the increasing demand for stage spec-
tacles the librettist is suffering from a continu-
ally increasing handicap.
"In the days of Gilbert and Sullivan the play
was written first and the music and songs then
written to fit the play. The result was more or
less of a consecutive and intelligent story. Now-
adays, when the craze is so strong for popular
jingles and catchy songs, the lyrics and music are
accepted and the play, or the story of the show,
constructed to fit them, if possible. Naturally,
misfits are more than common. I admit that it
is an entirely false way to construct an entertain-
ment, but it seems to be popular, and the public;
apparently does not care whether the story of
the musical play is intelligently worked out or
not. The music is of much lighter quality than
formerly."
