Romberg Writes Score for
New Ziegfeld Operetta
"Louis XIV" to Be Produced at New Amster-
dam With Big Cast—Harms, Inc., to Publish
the Score
Signmnd Romberg bids fair to occupy the
place left vacant by the death of Victor Herbert.
This composer of light opera music has had
success after success to his credit, ever since he
enriched the American light opera stage with
"Maytime" and "Blossom Time." This season
his music to the "Student Prince," at the 59th
Street Theatre, has made that Shubert produc-
tion one of the most-talked-of and substantial
successes of the year, and now an entirely new
Romberg score is about to be revealed in Balti-
more, where Florenz Ziegfeld will produce
"Louis XIV." This is Mr. Romberg's first Zieg-
feld show and Broadway will soon have an oppor-
tunity to judge it, for the new piece is booked
to follow the "Ziegfeld Follies" at the New
Amsterdam Theatre.
"Louis XIV" is described as a really stu-
pendous production, probably the biggest thing Mr.
Ziegfeld has so far undertaken. It is a piece
somewhat along the lines of the fine old comic
operas of Offenbach's day, the scenes being laid
in France. A remarkable cast has been assem-
bled by Mr. Ziegfeld, headed by that sterling
comedian, Leon Errol. As an indication of
what may be expected of the choral work, it is
worth noting that the singing chorus comprises
no less than thirty-six men and fifty-nine girls,
all with real voices. There are three acts, and
the mounting and costuming is of the most
elaborate character.
The libretto and lyrics of "Louis, XIV" are by
Arthur Wimperis, an English writer, who was
brought over from London by Mr. Ziegfeld for
this purpose. The big orchestra will be under
the baton of Gus Salzer. The piece is essen-
tially a comic opera, and the surprise comes in
the revelation that the "Louis XIV" of the title
is not exactlv the famous monarch who made
