To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Allow me to call the attention of the undergraduate body to the performance of Humperdink's opera, "Haensel and Gretel," at the Boston Opera House, tomorrow afternoon. This opera is one of the most delighful of the modern German productions, the text being taken from a well-known German fairy-tale which combines both humor and pathos. The music abounds in light, sparkling tunes, and the orchestration is notable both for its richness and variety, Humperdink being acknowledged one of the most gifted of the modern writera.

Miss Fisher and Miss Swartz, who have already won a high and deserved reputation in opera and concert, will take the leading roles. There should be a large contingent of Harvard music lovers who should seize this opportunity both to hear this opera and also to back up the efforts of Mr. Russell. The fact that this opera occurs on a holiday should make it possible for many undergraduates to be present.
