Mr. STUART SMITH,
' The Woman of Forty-Nine '

, conducted by Capt. W. A. FEATHERSTONE
A S stage composer Schubert seems to have been almost a failure. He wrote about sixteen Operas and Operettas-yet which of these is ever heard nowadays?
Fierrabras was, apparently, never performed at all. Yet its Overture is a splendid witness to its composer's ability to write powerfully dramatic, forceful music.
