REVIEW
siastic comments failed to do "Natja" justice
through the fact that they were limited to vari-
ous portions of the offering which particularly
appealed to the critic when reviewing the piece.
"Natja" is presented with a symphony orches-
tra of fifty pieces and will be noted not only
for a quality of the singing voices of the stars
of the play, but of each and every member
of the chorus. The orchestra is under the di-
rection of Max Hirschfeld.
The singing roles were handled by competent
voices. Miss Mary Mellish, recently of the Met-
ropolitan Opera House; George Reimherr, who
is widely known as concert singer, and Miss
Madeline Collins, playing "Natja," come to this
country after a wide operatic experience in Eng-
land and with the Gallo Opera Companies here.
The settings, while elaborate, are in keeping
with the atmosphere of the piece. It is of the
caliber of the new operatic offerings which are
meeting with such wide approval, with the ex-
ception that it carries a better book, better
music, better voices and more tense dramatic
situations.
There are numerous vocal selections which
undoubtedly will have a wide sale not only this
season but for several seasons to come. In-
cluded in these are "I Hear Love Call Me,"
"The Magic of Moonlight and Love," "A Lady
Who Lives for Love," "Ups and Downs," "Hon-
or and Glory," "In My Homeland," "Beside the
Star of Glory," "Eyes That Haunt Me" and
"There Is a Garden in Loveland." Leo Feist,
Inc., are the publishers of the score.

Joseph l'lunkett, who is responsible for the
many attractive musical prologues that precede
the pictures at the Mark Strand Theatre, New
York, has again attracted attention with the
musical presentation in conjunction with the
showing of the photoplay, "A Thief in Para-
dise." In this instance the Sam Fox Publishing
Co. number, "Moon Dream Shore," was used
for the musical theme. The setting was a scene
in tropical atmosphere. Everett Clark, the
talented tenor, rendered "Moon Dream Shore"
in an impressive manner. The combination of
the setting and the singing placed the audiences
in a most receptive mood for the feature pro-
duction which followed, the opening scene of
