Desert Song
Presented
At Elsinore
The most eJaoorate musical pro
duction offered in Salem In many
years, "The Desert Song," musical
sensation of the season and char
acterized by John Philip Sousa as
the greatest operatic success of the
decade, was presented Thursday
evening at the EUlnore theater be
fore an audience which little more
than half filled the auditorium.
Those who did attend the oper
etta, however, considered themselves
fortuna': for the production proved
to be of as much or more Interest
than the advance notices Indicated.
The cast for the production In
cludes 150 singers and dancers and
is accompanied by a thirty-piece
symphony orchestra directed by
Cecil Stewart. The. music, written
b Sigmund Romberg, as in all light
operas, is the important element
in the production. The type of mu
sic in "The Desert Song" ranges
from military songs to lytic roman
tic melodies.
The stage settings for the produc
tion added materially to the inter
est. One of the most effective
scenes was the farewell ong sung
by Red Shadow and his band of
Riffs as the sun rose slowly light
ing one by one the clouds in the
sky and a wider expanse of the tos
sins seas and desert shore.
The story concerns briefly, the
activities of Red Shadow, (Gary C.
Breckner), son of the French Gov
ernor, (John Merkyl), who leads his
band of Riffs through all sorts of
Impossible situations occasionally
stealing bacx to his father's home to
see Marcot Bonvalet (Elvira Tanzil),
his father's ward, with whom he
has fallen in love. Margot, how
ever, after a few years in a French
convent, is searching for romance
which she does not find at all in
Pierre, as the Red Shadow is known
at home, who fhe regards as a
SDineless creature afraid of fight
ing and while she is fond of him
ad a "sister" does not consider him
at all the outlaw whom she more
than half wishes would capture her.
At length in a determined hunt for
the outlaw leader. Red Shadow, the
French soldiers return with Pierre
who discloses the fact that he is
not the weak creature his father
and Margot have thought him to
be but is the leader of the Morrocan
Riffs for whom Margot has already
admitted her love.
One of the most beautiful musical
numbers of the production was the
duet by Margot and the Red Shad
ow which closed act one.
The comedy element of the pro
duction was ably furnished by Ben
ny or Benjamin Kidd, former so
ciety correspondent of the Paris
Herald who landed, and rather pre
cipitately, among the Riffs who af
ter much cogitation decided to
Doftoone his death in order that
they might avail themselves of his
services as a French spy. His num
erous blunders placed him In the
most amazing circumstances and at
last he decided that he and Susan
who has shared many of his predica
ments with him, are eminently suit
ed for eacn other, an idea which
Susan has been attempting to con
vey since their first meeting at the
Governor's home where she was em
ployed as secretary.
Th operetta moved rapidly from
one scene to another with no wait
for shirts oi scenery and the at
tention of the audience never fal
tered in the slightest from the open
ing number of the program until the
cl&ce.
The music for "The Desert Song"
was the outstanding attraction. The
chorus work was particularly ef
fective. "The Sabre Song" by Mar
got, the trio number, "Then You'll
Know," sung by Margot, Pierre, and
Captain Fontaine; and the duet,
"Desert Song," by Margot and Red
Bhadow were three of the most in
teresting musical numbers,

Paris (IP) When Frenchmen play
rootball, exciting things usually
happen. So, when a spectator from
a game at the Colombes stadium
rushed into an adjoining cafe and
explained excitedly that a player
was gravely injured and needed
brandy, the good-natured proprietor
did not hesitate. He grabbed a
bottle and passed it over the bar.
The police are now looking for th
good Samaritan.
