For himself, your correspond

Mikado - and net enough" swing.
The fine colored singers and
dancers of the troupe are excel

not a d'Oyly Carte company
The straight Mikado (which is
about 85 per cent of the -swing
version) has been better done by
any number of . other companies.
But that fifteen per cent - ot
swing certainly Mfted the roof off
the old Federal playhouse.
