lightful musical comedy full OF pretty
melodies, swinging marches, and grace
full dances and really very interesting

oped consistently and conseoutively is In
addition to these elements OF entertain

or and garden OF the Cafe de Care, the
court at Cammenbsrt, with an exterior
view OF the city, the pavilion OF Lave In
the castle of Cammenbert and the parade
ground with the castle Cammenbert In
the distance, All these scenes are OF sur
passing beauty and absolute complete
mass. One of tho greatest elements OF their
beauty is in the perfect mannsr In whicn
they are lighted and for this purpose an
electrical equipment OF extraordinary
size and detail is carried by the COM
many. Some very novel effects are Sc
cured among which is Kaleidoscope 90
