ANDRÉ Messager , who died in the spring of this year, at the good old age of seventy-six, was for long a familiar figure in the London musical world, apart from the successful productions here of some of his best light operas. The first of these, La Bearnaise, enjoyed a long run at the Prince of Wales Theatre with Miss Florence St. John and Miss Marie Tempest in the principal parts. Some years later he achieved a still more important sucoess with La Basoche, which was given in an English version at d'Oyly Carte's Royal English Opera House. In later years we remember his Little Michus and Veronique, and his ballet The Two Pigeons is often heard as orchestral music.
