llenry W. Savage has chosen "Sari" as the name
for the operetta which will be his first new pro-
duction of this season and he has engaged Mizzi
Hajos to interpret one of its most important roles.
'I he name was selected and Miss Hajos' contract
was signed Thursday. The piece will be given its
first public performance Christmas week.
"Sari" is tht operetta by Emmerich Kalman
which, with the title "Der Zigeunerprimas," has
been current in Vienna for many months, its
popularity having attained such a height as to
justify its simultaneous presentation in two the-
aters of the Austrian capital. At one playhouse
it was sung in German, while at the other it was
being given m Hungarian. The story of "Sari" is
laid in llunqarv and Paris.
A new march by E. T. Paull will be on the mar-
ket shortly.
