Special Cable Dispatch to Tae EvExixe Stan. Lonpox, Jan. 22,—Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera, called “Ruddy Gore; or, the Witches’ Curse,” to be produced to-night, will tell the tale of a Dar- onet condemned by acurse to commit a crime every day and hiding away in a peaceful village, leaving his brother to suffer the effects of the curse, The first act shows a village green with a ship at anchor in the distance. The chorus con- ‘sists of the entire company of twenty-four brides- maids, wearing extremely pretty Directory dresses. Grossmith 1s first the bashful man of the village. Then his whereabouts are betrayed by his foster brother to the wicked baronet, and in future he has to commit a daily crime. The fun comesin in the attempt to effect tnis by subterfuges like making false income tax returns and forging his own will. In the second act twenty-four of his wicked ancestors come out of their frames to punish him for neglecting a family tra- dition. The companions of the twenty-four brides. maids are twenty-four officers gorgeously dressed in the uniform of the service about the time of Waterloo, The scene of this act 1s ald tn the man- sion of the wicked baronet with the walls covered with the pictures of his ancestors.
