more s. Gardner's Company, in the
grandest manner. The play is q spec
tacular extravaganza, and is highly
sensational. All the scenery is new,
and painted expressly for the produc-

fine, and the costumes gorgeous, es-
pecially that worn in the peacock ballet,
which is novel and pretty. There are
q number of Transformation scenes, amt
mechanical effects. There is no doubt
but what the house will be crowded,
and this is probably the last dramatic
performance of the season.

them crowded houses. Reserved seats
can be obtained at the box Office for 20
