The New York Herald suggests. that
happy hit might be made by the pro-
duction upon the stage OF Milton's Par
adise Lost" as spectacular drama, at
ter the manner OF the late production OF
Byron's "Sardanapalus." The first &C,
might, the Herald says. present the Gar
den OF Eden, with Mile. Bartoletti al
Eve, and Signor Mascagno as Adam. as
sisted by the grand Italian ballet. Tn,
realistic effect in costume would be as his
torical as the dresses Of reconstructed
Ninevah. There could be only one re-

WHEELER AND THE EGYPT DEF.
