Gilbert and Sullivan. There are not a few
music lovers who agree with the Brady con-
clusion. It may be said that the lyrics in such
songs as "The Talk of the Town" in "Irene,"
"The Upper Crust" in "Glory" and "Settle
Down and Travel" in "Up She Goes" closely
approach the work of Gilbert at his best.
The leading songs in "Up She Goes" are
"Journey's End," "Lady Luck," "Nearing the
Day" "Ty-Up," "Let's Kiss," "Settle Down and
Travel," "Takes a Heap of Love" and "Bobbin'
About."
In the New York Times' criticism of "Glory"
the caption said: "'Glory' Makes Hit With
Pretty Tunes." The New York Evening Post
said: "Not since Victor Herbert wrote 'Babes
in Toyland' has such delightful, melodious, real
music been heard in musical plays as that of
the overture to 'Glory.' It is haunting in its
beautiful measures, full of fine expression and
a perfect delight to the ear. And, throughout
the play, the music was just as satisfactory.
Pleasing melodies followed each other in rapid
succession."
The big numbers in "Glory" are "Saw Mill
River Road," "Mother's Wedding Dress," "Post
Office," "We've Got to Build," "The Upper
Crust," "The Little White House" and "Pop-
ularity."
Both Joseph McCarthy and Harry Tierney
are quite young, so it can be assumed that
besides "Irene," "Up She Goes" and "Glory"
the lovers of musical comedy will have the op-
portunity of hearing many works from the pens
of this team.
