	Broadway: The American Musical . Hello, Broadway! . Operetta \| PBS
		Operetta was tailor-made for the tastes and habits of the turn-of-the-20th century consumer of refined amusement.
		Operetta provided a fanciful in-between world of romance and escape; it was the most popular brand of musical theater for the first two decades of the 20th century.
		Operetta is an easy target for mockery, but Herbert gave his musical scores an integrity and rhapsodic fervor that would long outlive the productions of his shows.

	Toyland
		May 26, 1924, was an Irish-American cellist, conductor, and composer whose operettas are continually revived and whose songs have become classics of their genre.
		Herbert is best remembered for the operettas Babes in Toyland (1903), The Red Mill (1906), and Naughty Marietta (1910), and for the songs, "Kiss Me Again," "Gypsy Love Song," and "Ah Sweet Mystery of Life." He also wrote the operas Natoma (1911) and Madeleine (1914).
		Babes in Toyland, one of Victor Herbert’s enchanting operettas, written in 1903, proved that the master could write children’s entertainments as well as he could sentimental love stores, which meant better than almost anyone else in those turn-of-the-century days.

	arborweb reviews - review: Babes in Toyland
		Hence, to the horror of Toyland, Bo Peep must marry Barnaby, whose grisly face is shown in many frightful close-ups.
		The childlike innocence of Toyland, coupled with the ferocious violence of Bogeyland and the many sexual innuendoes, some ambiguous and some blatant, earned the film condemnation from the Parent-Teacher Association of America.
		For a children's film, Babes in Toyland sure has a lot of grown-up themes, but the only part that gave me a hard time was the singing.

	Babes In Toyland Review \| TVGuide.com
		In Toyland, Jack and Jill meet Humpty Dumpty (voice of Charles Nelson Reilly), who takes them to Barnaby's house, but he's a mean old man who hates toys and throws Jack and Jill into a rat-infested attic.
		Within its modest budgetary and formulaic genre limits, BABES IN TOYLAND is surprisingly tolerable, favoring a warm, hand-drawn (if admittedly overly anthropomorphic) look.
		But these are thankfully kept to a minimum, and the film breezes along at a nice clip, culminating in a fine rendition of the famous "March of the Wooden Soldiers" number.

		'Babes In Toyland', produced in 1903, was an extravaganza frankly attempting to capitalize on the current popularity of 'The Wizard of Oz'.
