success of San Toy probably lies in
the fact that it is so well put on"

ties for creating stage illusions, the
comedy promises to assume its right
ful place as the most popular of acting
plays. The lack of such facilities until
recent years made a stage representa-
ton OF The Tempest" unsatisfactory.
as the progress of the story, its nvs-
teal characters, and it's scenes, which
are laid in land of dreams, depend
so much upon the pictorial and musi-
car accompaniment suggested by their
description. 1t is stated that in the
forthcoming production every device
that money could buy or that brains
could improvise has been utilized by
Managers Wagenhals e. Kemper. They
