Tomorrow night the biggest and best show
piece OF the season the Hanlon Brothers
Faniasma"-opens q limited engagement
TO I'll out the week. The company COM
prises over forty star artists and two car
leads OF special scenery. They opened TO q
packed house In Louisville Monday night,
and the Courier Journal, in the course OF a
column article, thus spoke OF the piece: 1t
| IL more complete In its illusions than any
slev of the kind ever seen In Louisville, and
| is, in fact, by far the best paDtomime ever
| produced here. IL transports men and
women to the days of their childhood
ard makes them enjoy over again the
msrvels that delighted them when the land
of the FAIRIES and witches, the enchanted
castles, the frightful beasts and the beauti.
full maidens and gallant knights was real
| land. To child "Fantasma must be the
realization OF every dream OF beauty aud
encbsntment. The part that the Hsnlons
have had in producing this result ia the in
vention and arrangement of the mechanism
! of the stage, which is wonderfully elaborate
and surprisingly perfect. The Hanlons are
the greatest inventors OF stage tricks OF all
| sorts that the stage has produced, and in
'Fantasma' they have excelled ali their
previous attempts. One can not describe
of the wicked spirit who has captured
the beautiful maiden, and who is at
last overcome by the fairy queen aud the
| trus-hesrted lover. Into this story are
| woven q succession OF laughable predica.
| ments, wonderful adventures, beautiful
| tableaux and charming allegories. The
| performance concludes with grand harle-
| quinade, with the familiar Columblne
| Pantaloons, Harlequin and the Clown.
These old friends 90 through new tricks
| and keep the audience laughing and inter
esttd until the Fairy Queen waves her
magic wand and instantly transports every
/ BODY TO her own beautiful realm, where
! lovely maidens appear in the enchanted
| gardens.
Among the most pleasing incidents OF tbs
| performance ale the tableaux representing
the heroism OF the Arctic explorers, their
! berdships and their cruel fate The series OF
| pictnres concludes with a beautiful al
