tomorrow morning. He will next week be
seen at the National in Henry "" He
has never before expended so much study,
labor and money on a single production
as on Henry W and it is a question
whether any other actor or manager has
ever made equal outlay for his public.
1t is because of the extravagant demands
which Henry W. makes for people,
scenery and paraphernalia that it is SO
rarely given. Mr.. Mansfield presents what
will probably be the only opportunity this
generation will ever have to see this play.
He has embellished his realization with
nineteen stage settings. Besides this there
is the appropriate setting for every APP
pearance of the chorus, which amounts to
a production within production. There
are in all nearly 400 people appearing.
VI these there are the speaking cast of
hfty-two players, a ballet of thirty four
and choir of forty boys and men. The
organization travels by special train of ten
cars.

satirical comedy. There are many char
