for four weeks each and in San Fran
cisco it was recentlV witnessed for
three weeks by crowded houses. c. B.
Teggerson, Klaw & Erlanger, who
manage and control it,have also 1892, -
than which The Brownies" is even
more successful.
An idea of the magnitude of the pro-
duction may be had from the fact that
there are nearly 100 burlesque artists
in the organization, and two 6O-feet
baggage cars are necessary to trans
port the huge equipment of scenery
properties, mechanical and electrical
effects. 1t requires twenty-five stage
hands, fiymen. machinists, electricians
property men, etc, to handle all this
scenic outfit at each performance.
There are twelve sets of scenery, en-
bracing seventy-two hanging pieces.
Among the notable spectacular effects
will prove the compact between Vul-
can and DragOnfel in the electrical
cavern of mystery; the courtyard of
Titania in the time of May, with the
wedding in the reign of roses; the
storm at sea, in which the Brownies
raft is wrecked, and the dude is saved
by the gigantic sea bird: the Serenade
upon illuminated mandolnS to the
talking moon in DragonfePs enchanted
country; the earthquake and volcano
that cause the destruction of the pal
ace; and finally the gorgeous trans
formation, THE Break of Day in
BrOwnieland."
Crowded into these varied scenes
are high-claSS balletS and specialties
of the most unique order. The marvel

dancing girls, with its beautiful lights
and colors, NewhOuse and Waffle,
