But it has twenty-two and each and everyone of them is of the whistly sort. 'i he book and lyrics are by Paul Herve and the music by Jean Baiquet, and was adapted for the American stage by Adolf Phillip and Edward Pauiton, who so successfully made the English version of "Alma.” The plot of “Adele" deals with a young girl who is too young to marry without her father’s consent and who is ir love with a man her father does net approve of, because he is the son of his rival in business. Consequently she prevails upon her friend Myrianne to help her out of her plight. Myrl onne is In love with the Baron Charles de Chantilly, a nobleman without funds, but cannot marry him without losing her dowry in her late hus band’s estate, he having stipulated in his will that If she marry his estate is to go elsewhere. Myrianne prevails upon the baron to marry Adele, and leave her as soon as the ceremony is performed; Adele can then divorce him and, as a di vorcee, marry the man of her choice. The scheme fails, because they fall in love with each other, and Myrianne and Robert Frebor, Adele’s former sweetheart, are left to console each other. There are many bright lines in the dialogue and many laughable situations that are brought about in a most natural manner. The cast engaged is one of the best ever sent out of New York and in cludes Carolyn Thomson. John Park, Nannette Flack, Alfred Kappler, Lot tie Vincent, George O'Donnell, Ralph Nairn, Jules Epailly, Lawrence Knapp and others. The scenic Investiture and costumes are the most gorgeous seen in many a day.
