Life is like brooding over it when Miss Romaine remarked: “But @ voice isn't everything. In musical comedy a pretty face counts most, especially if a figure goes with it. This is absolutely true of London, and alm as true of New York, it seers to me. That's one reason why I felt sure Hazel would be a great success in musical comedy, for she ts the prettiest thing I ever looked at. And I must confess that when I heard what salary she was f :tting I was tempted to leave grand oper. in Bu- rope and go into musical comedy in America, First of all, I'm a real American, and I like my own country best. Moreoves, the average Ameri- can girl who goes abroad to sing in grand opera can make five times as much money here in musical comedy. The only difficulty that musical com- edy offers to a girl who has a fairly food voice is what the French call ‘picking up the ropes.’ I was afraid of in ‘Ti Girl.’ In grand opera thé music and the acting go together, In ‘Louise’ even the table is laid—knives, forks, spoons and all—to certain chords. But in musical comedy one suddenly stops acting and begins singing, and very That's what Midnight often the song has nothing whatever | to do with the story. You've noticed that, haven't you?” There was no denying it. When brightest day ts turned into darkest night on the stage to bring out a “moon” song the troubled apectator cannot remain blind to the fact that musical comedy is subject to sud- den changes.
