Singing, some dialog.
Selections from several of the favorite G. and S. operas were staged with bits of dialog here and there, but no one in the aggregation seemed to take the required interest in their work (barring Frederick Schwartz, the musical director), and the affair gradually became monotonous until it suffered a very painful finale. The production seems to have been built for flash and quantity in the minority. Robert Doe, E. Percy Parsons and Francesca Marni exhibited what little vocal class the production carried, but otherwise one can find little to favorably comment upon throughout the cast.
