There are many who believe that no

No person witnessing tho performance
OF an opera like "El Captain" can have
much idea of the magnitude of the pro-
ductIon. You see on the stage 90 people
engaged in giving the performance. vet
behind the scenes are probably as many
more, ali necessary for the successful car
rying out OF the entertain ment. They are
never seen from the front, and tire public
have but little idea they are in the
thenter. De Wolf Hopper carries IN his
company six stage carpenters, three prop
erty men, a stage manager and assistant.
a wardrobe mistress and assistant,a busi-
ness manager and assistant, who attends
to the advance work, also a manager and
treasurer. ~he manager OF the theater
also furnishes large staff, which in
cludes all attaches on both sides OF the
curtain. 1t is estimated TINT no less
than 500 persons were employed directly
or indirectly in the evolution of this
great opera and its many expensive access
sories, and when ii Is presented at the
Providence Opera House tomorrow even
ing an adequate idea can be formed Of
it's immensity and the reason for its
instcnt bound into public favor will bo
readily explained. "El Captain" will
