Sparkling Libretto.

There was no need, however, for Ron Meek has written a really good show. To be sure, he was assisted by Messrs. Gilber, Sullivan and Huxley. And this would have been unpardonable, had his verse not been as crisp as Gilbert's, and thus not suited itself so admirably to Sullivan's music; had his situations not been as convincing as Huxley's and the whole thing entertaining and amusing right through. We congratulate him unreservedly.
