plays has been the greatest lyceum sue

the novelty of a pictured love story with

who, when they are mentioned in the
story, actually appear life size on the
scene. The entire effect is intensely Wv

seen the dance says a newspaper critic,

| Offenbach's best and most famous operas.
In this day of vaudeville and burlesque,

of mathematical turn of mind estimates
