LIE VOYAGE EN- SUISSE" One of the
most startling of The many elaborate spec
tacular featui es of the hanlOns LIE Voy-
age en- SUISSE" which appears next week
at the Columbia Theater, the wonderful
mechanical Stage coach, which appears upon
the sage drawn by pair of horses, driven
at full speed. The second scene shows the
interior of the Continental Express on its
journey from Paris to Switzerland, and it
really a wonderful piece of stage mech
anism. During the entire progress of this
act the tram is shown in full motion. Sud-
denly, and without moments notice
fearful crash is heard. Just as the train
II,
the sound of an awful collision is heard
and the train breaks in TWAIN, and is en-
ve.oped in vast volume of fire and smoke
Amid the noise and rumble when the de-
bris is cleared away the characters are
shown IN Comical Situations-some on top
the engines SmokeStack, others thrown
into convenient tree, but all in the best
of humor. The last act represents the
dining room of the Rigi-Kum Hotel in
Switzerland and a great many novel and
clever specalties introduced. Popular
prices. from one dollar down to twenty-five
cents, will prevail during this engagement
