In almost every foreign country— notably in Australia. Italy, England and Bussls. la now tbe talk of ISnrope. The piece Is entitled Myrella and tta original French title was Myrella la JoUe. Musicians and connoIsaenTs tuiversally e<m- cede Ir to be a real melodic novelty, embodying aa it does a complete dramatic story of patMtle interest and combining a narrative of Italian romance wedded to a faaelnating coneatenatlen of harmonic phraaee. In ttaelt It woold stantf alone as a delightful reeltstloa.
