play, Darkest Russia" will be seen at
the Opera House Tuesday, April 21st.
This popular attraction is replete with
all the elements of success. 1t tells an
interesting story, is mounted and cos
TUNED beautifully and is full Of bright

tended field and dealing with such a
variety OF character, the scope affords
great opportunity for elaborate mount

advantage, and Darkest Russia. is
produced on a scale seldom seen in ro-
mantle plays. Every set is carried and
tone Of scenery and mechanical features
