Nibio's Garden last night was event to attract
large audience, many Of whom belonged to the class
OF people generally spoken OF as professionals"
As It was an event as far from literary as posi-
bic, ana with very little affinity to anything

piece, the ballet and the specialties. Effects and
scenery were everything that could be desired, the
Incarnation scene especially being well conceived
and well executed. Nothing could exceed It's
weird and startling combinations; all that Is
grotesque and demonic be .ng brought together to
make picture OF Hertzog's bargaining with the
Evil One. Stalacta's grotto was not equal to pre-

Illuminated terrace was Respondent, and the ale
