JACK, THE GIANT KILLER
An Old Cherished Friend and His
Enemy Set to Pretty Music.
REMINDERS OF FAIRY LAND
Two Hundred Little Folks to Appear in the
Roles of Nursery Lore-Brilliant Pa
geants, Gorgeous Costumes, and Sweet
Music Will Be Presented at Albaughs.

The Legion of Loyal.Women completed the
arrangements last night for the presentation
at Albaugh's Grand Opera House next Friday
afternoon of Harry Wheaton Howard's "Jack
the Giant Killer" grand juvenile opera.
Although it is styled juvenile opera it is
full of life and scenery and incident that will
interest not only the young folks who still be-
lieve in fairy tales, but all of those older
folks who on occasion can go back with
profit and pleasure to the good old times
when fairies and phantoms were things as
indisputable, as the texts of Holy Writ. jack
the Giant Killer, embraces quite a bright
bead roll of the thousand and one fancies
that were history when men and women were
boys and girls.
The little people of these times, however,
have the advantage of having their old
friend the giant killer, set to lovely music,
and himself and his whereabouts and his
castle and his captives all set forth to dazzle
the dreaming eve with the most picturesque
scenery Those who know best about this
beautiful promised land of enchantment say
that it contains marvels in costume, bright
pretty boys and girls, sweet songs OF sweet
singers, wonderfully precise military evolu-
tions by female warriors, picturesque scenes,
old castles palaces, green fields, and the
sheen and sparkle Of silver and gold and
diamonds in the loveliest court functions ever
seen on the stage in Washington.
And what is il all about? 1t is all because
that wicked Blunderbore, or some other wicked
giant. has taken prisoner beautiful daughter
OF the king and queen of that country which
we all left when we were much younger than
we are now. This was very sad, because it hap
pened Just at the time when the i've lovely
sisters of the prisoner were about to be mar
ried to five of the noblest and handsomest
princes in that land. When everything is un-
utterably sad in this royal family, up comes
Jack the Giant Killer, just as all the boys and
girls expected he would do. 1t wouldn't be
fair to tell exactly how he released the prin-
cess and made the five princely couples
happy It can be stated, however, that the
giant did not grind his bones to make his
bread or "smell the blood OF this English
man" either But what couldn't anybody,
much less Jack, do if he had an army Of gilt
tering Amazons at his back? Just wait and
watch the curtain roll up on the wonderland
that will be revealed TO the boys and girls
and the whole family on next Friday alter
noon.
OF course, the great credit OF the entertain
ment is due TO the Loyal Legion of Women,
! who have spent so much time and taken so
!
| step and making pretty little Jack so fierce
and the giant so big, and the princess as
| pretty as satin shoes, the king and queen so
! gorgeous and royal. and the dainty prisoner
at first so sad and at last so unutterably happy
| with her Jack"
