After we come to know more of the admirable family traits of the fledermaus its musical German name we shall willingly defend it from the calumny which for thousands of years has been heaped upon it. Hibernation is a strange phenomenon, and one which is but little understood.
And you, Vienna, and you, Paris are you, too, to be measured thus, as measured you are, by the crimson light of your half-worlds that for some obscures your stars? The Berlin of the Palais de Danse is the Paris of L'Abbaye; the Berlin of the Fledermaus is the New York of Jack's.
I have known a vain regretter to turn no further back than to the nights of The Merry Widow, The Waltz Dream, The Chocolate Soldier, The Girl in the Train, and The Dollar Princess, in other words to the Viennese renaissance; another, in using the phrase, is subconsciously conjuring up pictures of La Belle Hélène, Orphée aux Enfers, or La Fille de Madame Angot, good fodder for memory to feed on here; a third will instinctively revert to the Johann Strauss operetta period, the era of The Queen's Lace Handkerchief and Die Fledermaus; a fourth cries, "Give us Gilbert and Sullivan!"
