Wizard of the Nile.-Frank Daniels. who
| last year came to the front of the comic
orera list of stars at a bound, will not
| make a new production this season. THE
| Wizard Of the Nile being still distinctly
| in demand and apparently strong ough
| to hold the boards for several years. He
| is tie only comic opera comedian who has
| not found it necessary to try new material
| with which to tempt the public. In point
| of fact pronounced successes are difficult
! to find and Mr.. Daniels managers may
| congratulate themselves on striking it,
| so readily. THE Wizard of the Nile" has
| been chosen by New York critics as a
standard Of comparison and the comic
opera novelties thus far offered have been
''lined up so to speak, against this enter
tanning work.
