The success of this beautiful play in

deserved, possessing as it does so much of
dramatic element. All plays which tell
a story affectingly, appealing to human
nature, make the strongest impression

Among the new features that will be

bellies and Egyptian beauties will appear
in the most lavishing, exquisite and novel
costumes. Besides an endless variety of
new songs, q number of new sensational
1ances will be introduced, adding to the
already charming entertainment an ire
,istible charm. The Creole and Egyptian
dances, possess degree of superiority
over other terpsichorean artists that is
due perhaps to captivating abandon, COM
bined with native grace and astonishing
skill. Nimble, unerring in executions,
the Creole or Egyptian whirls around
dreamily, but swiftly, lmparting to every
movement thrill of delightful enthu-
siasm that steals over and enchants the
bewildered spectator.
