this dance will be taken entirely from that
production. The stage setting will be one OF
the most elaborate OF the evening, and the
rising curtain will show the throne room OF
the Mikado His courtiers, twenty-four
small boys, are enjoying themselves hugely
and all restraint is thrown of. Nanki roo
suddenly enters and joins in the hiarity
The rolling of drums betokens some unusual
event. and Nank Poo finds that the Mlkado
IS approaching. On this announcement the

solo from the opera and follows with the
