All the scenery and effects of the New York
production, together with some new
painted material lone by Thompson, of Bos-
ton, will be used. Carpenters, fly
men and twelve stage hands will
go with the company. A peculiar
rule is enforced in this city and in Boston by
stage carpenters and stage hands. The men
who work upon the stage during the per-
formance will not do any work on the
" flies" of the theatre or below the stage.
Extra laborers are therefore hired. This
rule, however, is not enforced with an or
ganization that carries its own men, and the
" She " company will, therefore, have twelve
stage hands, who will work either below or
above the stage. Some interest is manifested
with regard to the production of She " in
Boston, the great novel-reading community.

The Begun " has met with phenomenal
success in Chicago. Business is enormous,
and there is a general love feast over what is

that the opera was received favorably here
has added to Chicago's enthusiasm. Col.
McCaull is still confined to his room at the
Leland House, Chicago. He says he will
leave with the company next Sunday if they
carry him to the train in sections.

dismissal.

a well fact, however. that in " Over
