LACK AND THE BEAN STALK"

The winter season Of the Casino began last night
with an extravaganza called THE Strange Ad-
ventures Of Jack and the Bean Stalk 1t is the
work OF r. A. Barnet and A. B. Sloane Its COM
position is based on English folklore II draws
largely from the poems ascribed to Mother Goose.
and II makes frequent sallies into The Arabian
Nights" With these treasures OF material II
would be strange If something picturesque could
not be adduced and something picturesque has
been adduced. 1t is in the direction Of pictures.
indeed that the entertainment chiefly excels. The
building Of the play and the invention Of incidents
and stage expedients were much better do-e than
the writing Of it. In the latter particulsr how
ever. It is inofensive. There is abundance Of
gay music. and It was sung with much spirit.
There were dash and vigor. in fact. TO the whole
performance particularly the dances and many
parts of II were thus enlivened which had little
10 sustain them except the way in which they
were done.
The nursery story Of Jack and the Bean Stalk
was followed quite as faithfully such original
Is usually followed. while numerous old friends
new relations for them discovered Such for
instance. were the revelations that Jack was the
son Of Old Mother Hubbard. and that Mistress
Mary Quite Contrary was the daughter Of Old
King Cole and the afianced bride of Jack. There
are dreadful robbers in the pece-"the forte
thieves'-pretty fairies. and terrible. terrible
giant. If 1t lasts till the holidays not so very
far of. II will be an appropriate and attractive
amusement for the time.
