OF this production and no expresses himself as being
more thoroughly satisfied than ever before. The

II would be impossible for the ordinary spectator 10
realize the amount Of work entailed In drilling
hundred and ay ballet dancers so that they will work
IN perfect harmony OF movement The designs Of the
figures evolutions and tableans they required 10

master, whose labor In imparting his ideas 10 the
dancers is OF the most delicate and pepexing nature

greater part Of the daily reheasss for weeks, then
comes the practical grouping and drilling OF tho
movements. All this drilling has been going on at
Niblos for many weeks and Mr.. Kirafy heaved a big
sigh OF relief yesterday when his labors In THIS respect
ended. There viii be other interesting features OF
this production, such the appearance OF the
Brothers Alexandra and Herbert 10 say nothing Of
the interesting nature Of the dramatic story.
