The story Of the piece runs as fol-
lows:
King Jollity. the ruler of the Island
of Pleasure. which is near the coast
of the. Land Of Prosperity, and is so
|called because the inhabitants, being
|of a peaceable and pure, loving dispo-,
sition, pass their time in. singing and
dancing and general jolIity, having few
enemies and many good friends. AL
being subjects of the merry King J0f-
|lity, a popular monarch, who aims to
make the life of his people one per-
petual holiday. In this purpose he is
ABLY seconded by his lovely daughter,
Princess Suana, who with her royal
lover, Prince Beauto, assists him to
carry. on his schemes for the. general
pleasure. There is also at the court a
certain Prof. Burleske, grand pro-
WIDER of royal entertainments, who fur
nishes constant and varied means for
keeping up the holiday festival. How
ever, there is one black cloud on the
fair horizon. The Queen, an up-to-l
date athletic woman, with very ad-
vanced ideas, looks upon all this feast
ing and revelry with disgust. She de-
|spisss the King and wishes to make
way with him, in order to get control
|of the island for herself. turn the
thoughts Of the people toward warfare
and conquest, and then come fully in
to line with the progressive ideas of
the day. Attached to her royal person
are four Sages or wise men, who as.
sist her by their counsels whenever
she permits them to speak, which is not
often. They are the custodians of
whatever plot there may be in the
island. and are supposed to bear all the
blame; for her failures and none of the
credit for her successes. There is also
la young matchmaking to the
Princess, one Nuthens. who is sup
posed to be much attached to her, but
who in fact Is really attached to
|castaway, by name. Hobeau. Now
this Hobeau being in the service of
the King. and deputed by him to watch
the Queen (whom the King suspects)
and discover if possible the plot. being
assisted by Nuthens, does in reality
discover a conspiracy to make way
with the King. And SO it falls out
through all these things. the King,
backed by the army and navy, is en-
|abled to thwart the schemes Of the
wicked Queen. and Jollity reigns SUI
preme once more in the beautiful Is
Hand OF Pleasure.
