In writing it Gay had -three main objects: . (1) Torldicule the `extravagances and absurdities of the Italian operas. (2) To pay off some old ;scores against Walpole (whom he re- `presented as a highwayman) and oth- V` ers against whom he had aspite and ` whose characters he satirizedv in this opera under thin disguises. (3) To lash ` some of the.great abuses of. the time ; as Dickens did a century later. A ` . Not to these features nor. to its ,words is the fame of the opera due. -butto the discrimination in the selec- ` tion of the music. J. C.

No wonder it was popular. for it had lived in the very life-blood of the nation. Employing as it did airs from difterentsources this production Iwas well called a mosaic opera. Its tunes `made a landmark in English music audits influence is quite notice- able in the Gilbert & Sullivan operas. Although it had over sixty songs orig- inally. it has even in its modern con- centrated form twenty or more charm- ing numbers. Produced first in 1728. it ran 62 nights in London. 20 in Dub- lip and was the first play given in the British colonies of America. It has had - several revivals. the most spectacular being in 1920. running continuously until.J.une 5. 1923. So popular was it that some people saw it once a` week for 3% years.
