HERBERT WRITES NEW OPERA
For Kitty Gordon—Libretto by Harry B. Smith
and Fred de Gresac—It's Called "The En-
chantress"—Witmarks Are the Publishers.
Arrangements were completed recently whereby
M. Witmark & Sons control the publishing rights
to the new comic opera composed by Victor Her-
bert named "The Enchantress." The book is from
the united pens of Harry B. Smith and Fred ue
Gresac, and the production will be made by Joseph
M. Gates in October. Kitty Gordon, recently of
the Winter Garden Company, will create the stellar
role.
The story is unique, unfolding a romance la'd
in a mythical present-day kingdom, the ruler ot
wiiich, a young man becomes enamored of an
opera singer The love story abounds in thrilling
si>uations in which politcs are evolved. Finally
the singer wins the hearts of the king's subjects
and all ends happily.
The music which Mr. Herbert lias written is
said to equal in beauty any of the composer's pre-
vious w ritings, and a big success is already pre-
dicted for it.
