Theatrical Scene Focuses On May Festival and Jannuschek
The past week brought quiet theater activity with the May Festival drawing crowds. Madame Janauschek may retire this season, a move the stage would feel, and promises of King Kallio at the Aradmay were dashed as a backer withdrew consent for the venture. New York notes mention Tar and the Tartar at Pater's by McQaull Opera Company, sung by Harry Askin, with Adam Itzel as composer and manager, delivering lively melodies and grand choruses. Rosina Vokes revived several pieces, Davenport's Cleopatra drew crowds, and Pittsburg theaters near season end as Hersh’s Joya closes.
