The crowded attendance still eontin-
ues at the Harris theater, owing to the
excellent presentations by the Wilbur
Opera company. 1.-The Three Cloaks'
was enthusiastically received during
the entire week. For the coming week
the management has chosen au opera
that will be likely to cate h the audi
ences from the start. 1t is Offenbach's
Princess of TrebiZOnde," and it will
be magnlficently costumed and set with
new scenery. 1t is in three acts, and
one of the funniest which has been pre-
sented by the company. AS the opera
may be somewhat unfamiliar to the
GLOBE readers, the plot is here given.
Juggler'S booth and lottery Office in
village square are disclosed in the
opening scene, and CabriOlO, the pro-
prletor of the show, his two daughters
Regina and Zannetta, and assistants,
Iremolini and Paola, are introduced.
The grand prize of the lottery,
princely castle and estate. prove more
alluring to the crowd than the show
business. Prince Raphael and lis
tutor Sparadrap appear, and the former
SneakS into the show while the latter is
talking to Paola, who believes herself
to be of noble blood. The instant Spar
adrap misses the prince the lat
ter appears, praiSing with much
enthusiasm the beauty of a wax figure
representing the "Prlncess of Trebi-
zonde." 1t happened that Zannetta had
temporarily assumed this role, as the
real figure was defaced by fall. In
counting the receipts at night lottery
ticket numbered 1878 was found.
While disputing the ownership, it was
announced that 1913 drew the grand
prize the magnificent chateau. The
question was amicably settled by all
agreeing to live and enjoy the princely
fortune and forget their old trade. The
second act opens with a dinner
scene Oh the lawn of the
newly-acqulred estate, which is in
terrupted by a party of hunters
led by Prince Casimir, Prince Raphael
being one of the party. He espies Zan-
META and recognizes her and becomes
deeply infatuated with her. Raphael
puzzled how to get his fathers consent
to his eourtship finally hits Oh a ruSe.
He praises the old wax show of Cobri-
olo's to his father and finally induces
him to purchase it, and it is removed to
the palace and the ex-juggler placed in
charge. His father makes preparations
for great hunt and Raphael claims to
be sick and is left at home to enjoy the
company OF his inam0rata. His father
suspecting. something returns amidst
their publications. to their deep chag rim.
Like all good papas he forgives every
thing and consents to their union.
Trem0lini and Regina are also united
while PaOla is made happy by finding
out that her sister was RaphaePS
mother.
