Is not doubted that the general estimate Of
the result, when that result shall have been
made known, will Justify the hopes of
those who have devoted to il not only their
best thought and skill, but all the artistic
and material resources at command. Two
special cars are employed in transferring
the scenery used in the presentation OF the
drama. 1t will be the finest spectacular
feature ever presented to the st. Paul
public. The company opens at the Grand
tomorrow night and plays a weeks en-
