A large and representative audience
crowded the theater last night to witness

but most favorable comments on every
feature of the spectacular production, and
there is. every indication that the two per-
formances to-day, matinee and night,
will be witnessed by even larger crowds.
The spectacular effects could hardly un-
der any circumstances have been surpass-
ed. and the grace and natural beauty of
the dances and the participants in them
equaled beyond a doubt the best pro-
fessional work that has yet been seen
here.

ing a scene in Toxic. The impersonation
of Aladdin, the uncle and the mother

pants. Mr.. Arthur Robinson represented
Aladdin, and Miss Lola Moynelo the widow
NIustafa. The street urchin chorus, sung
with much spirit by Edgar Wortsman,
Rogers Starr, Edwin Binswanger, Jerome
Kraus, Wayne Warfield, Walter Elton,
Edwin Cubbedge, King Purse, John Elton,

inson Weyman Harmon and Garrard
Newman, closed the scene.

room of Princess ZIneika, impersonated Dy
little Miss Marguerite Suits, where the
