Chris and the Wonderful Lamp Chris and the Wonderful Lamp is an operetta in four acts by John Philip Sousa with libretto and song lyrics by Glen MacDonough (best remembered as the librettist for Victor Herbert's "Babes in Toyland"). Of the nine operettas that Sousa wrote between 1885 and 1909, "Chris and the Wonderful Lamp" is number 7, chronologically. It was composed in 1899 and was based on a popular book of the same name by Albert Stearns, and retells the story of a young man from Connecticut who buys Aladdin’s lamp at an auction and employs the genie to help him see his love, Fanny, who is sequestered in a school for girls. (Stearns later wrote the script for a 1917 film of the same name, based on his story.) Sousa's "Chris..." is the only one of his operettas specifically written to appeal to children, was immediately popular, and has remained in the repertoire even today, undergoing periodic revivals.
