GUSTAV LUDERS AND FRANK PIXLEY.
Gustav Luders has an unusual amount of orig-
inality in composing and does not have to wait
until the "spell" is on. His musical talent is
always ready to be transferred from brain to
paper, and the rapidity with which he works
proves that he is a master hand in the art. To
get "color" for his productions Mr. Luders makes
frequent trips abroad, on which occasions he also
spends much time in the depths of the Black
Forest in Germany, living very close to nature.
To this fact may be attributed the freshness, the
reminder of flowers and of the vocal winged
creatures of the air in his work. That Mr.
Luders is a composer of great merit is perhaps
best proven by the way his operas live. The
"Prince of Pilsen" and "Woodland" are pleasing
and delighting the public to as great an extent
to-day as when first produced, while his new
work, "The Grand Mogul," is awaited by amuse-
ment-seekers and music-lovers everywhere,
Frank Pixley, the popular composer of many
of the most successful light operas, has done
much of his best work in collaboration with Gus-
tav Luders, with whom his name seems indis-
solubly linked. With all his painstaking careful
consideration Mr. Pixley never sacrifices humor.
On the contrary, his works, "The Burgomaster,"
"King Dodo," "Woodland" and "Prince of Pilsen,"
abound with fun which is highly entertaining and
ludicrously funny. In his new production Mr.
