the much talked OF spectacular drama
entitled, "Around the World in Eighty
DAYS" will be produced at the 81;
Charles Theatre. under the direction oi
the Kiralfy Brothers. There II no need,
70 rehearse anew the story OF "Around
tho World.'' which enfolds, it will be
remembered the adventures OF an &c
centric Englishman, who makes wager
that he will put girdle around the
globe in eighty days and be successful
| In spite Of myriad Of obstacles, natural
and artificial. The present version or
Jules Vernes delicious romance OF the
same title is the one produced IN Paris,
and consequently the only authorized
dramatization In existence. Fhe specta-
Gle was first produced In Paris. where y
met with remarkable success, and held
the boards of n theatre over year. Last
summer the French version OF the play
together with all the scenery, costumes,
and mechanical effects, was purchased
by tho Kiralfys and brought to this
country. The spectacle was produced
at the Academy Of Music, New York,
and proved highly successful After
an extended run to crowded houses in
that city, the spectacle was withdrawn
so us to afford time for the removal OF
the scenery and costumes - this city.
The stage dress Of this wonderful drama
is exceedingly brilliant. Of rare excel
lence and of passing delicacy and taste IN
1
gorgeous. and although all the stage
sets are beautiful, and mos elaborate
are those pictures representing The
Metropolis" with its procession of Brah-
Minis and worshippers, and its startling
deuOuenent. the "Gardens of Nakahi-
ra's Palace" where the corps de bdHet
disports itself, the Wreck of the
