THE TWELVE TEMPTATIONS.
Tonight Yale's great spectacle of "The
Twelve Temptation" will be presented
at The jefferson. The Boston Herald
says the spectacle:
''Charles H. Yale's entirely new pro-
duetion of spectacle made famous many
years ago, was presented at the Columbia
last night in its new dress before an au-
dience that packed the beautiful theatre.
OF the famous productions given TINS Ia
NOUS old piece none has ever round So
much favor as the presentation before
the West End audience last night. 1t IS
really, IN point OF ballots, scenery t anu
speoialties, well worthy the stage OF Bos-
ton theatres. Space forbids to particular
liza the many features which go to make
nm a performanoe of this description.
The scenery was not only e1fectlve, out
magnidoently painted, ana there is at
least dozen sets. The ballots were not
only novel and charmingly costumed, but
were In the hands OF a corps of dancers
who were not only shapely and pretty,
but who knew how to dance. The dra-
matte company was far above the usual
class of dramatic people found in such
productions, while the specialties, with
which the piece abounds, were more than
out of the ordinary. The mechanical
contriyances and antomimic absurdltles
and the local incidents and characters
were Immediately recognized and received
considerable attention. The songs were
original and catchy, and arc certain to
become popular. The solo dancing of the
primiere was the equal OF anything that
has been seen here. Taking the perform
ance as whole, it can be truthfully SAID
to be the strongest spectacular production
that Mr.. Yale has yet given Boston, and
will rank as the largest and costliest
thing seen upon the Columbian stage
