"cINprnEI.LAn At noYp,s.


"cINDEREILA' At BoYD's.
The production of the fairy opera of "Cin-
derella" at Boyd's opera house during the
week Of June IS will be an event which, in
Importance in local attractions, will scarcely
be equalled, and perhaps never excellcd, and
the management feels that the public should
be given some information concerning its
origin and continued success. This enter
tainment will be given under the personal
supervision of Mrs. Agnes Benton, of New
York, who is the originator of juvenile opera.
Mrs. Benton instructed and trained the first
juvenile opera company America ever saw,
that being Haverly's Juvenile Pnafore com
pany, which swept the United States with
such q furore and attained success which
has never been approached until the author
of that popular scheme conceived the
the idea of producing Cinderella" This
charming extravaganza gives the pub
lie better view of fairyland
than can be found in dreams or
pictorial primers. 1t is gorgeous and mag
ficent and all the scenic effects necessary to
connect reality with the transcendent beau
ties of wonderland are brought into requisi-
ton. The success of these entertainments
has been phcnominal. AT no time since they
We're instituted has the management ever
=.
and it is always due to the merits of the en-
tertainment Much time and labor is re-
quired to train from five hundred to thou
sand children to tperform the different roles
OF the cast, but the patience and energy of
the instructress has never failed to over
come att obstacles, and those who witness
this rendition of "Cinderella' will readily
perceive that it merits all the praise that it
has ever received.

Voeghtlin. 1t consists of five separate and
distinct sets, and is pronounced historically
correct All the costumes, armors and i'm
plements of Roman warfare were manufac-
tured by Dazan " Eaves, of New York. Mr..
Downing has created considerable furore in
the east by his vigorous Interpretation of this
strong character, the press and public unini-
mously proclaiming him the legitimate sue
cessor to Edwin Forest and John McCul-
Tough. The play is sufficiently we'll known
in Omaha to insure large business.
