Grand Opera House Stock company In
Boston and the scenery of the play was
all built and painted by Samuel Brooker
from the original English models
Charles Booker the scenic artist at Port
| land theatre was then his fathers assist
ant and when it was decided to put the
play on here MIR. Brooker sent to his
father for that set OF models and the spec
ial scenery that will embellisn this play
will be exactly the same as that shown In
London anu Boston.
The portrayal OF four distinct characters
| by one person will be a striking feature
OF the play. Eleanore Browning, the ac-
com plisned leading woman, will MI
hese roles, and a wider field OF por-
trayal of different characters is seldom
found in single drama. Miss Brown
