scene of the new opera, announced as
having taken his part as a soldier in the
crusades to the Holy Land in obedience to
the command of the valiant Richard the
king Of lion hearted fame. 1t is on the
eve of his wedding to Maid Marian that
he has received his summons from the
monarch, and has named Marian as his
heir in the event Of his death in battle and
has selected Friar Tuck and Will Scarlet
as her protectors while she lives on the
estate which has come to him in recog-
milton of his rights as the true Earl of
Huntington. But in his absence the willy
old sheriff of Nottingham renews his old
time plotting; he fills Marian's ears with
suspicious Of Robins faithlessness, and

melancholy Marian, already pining over
the separation from her lover, finally re-
solves to go herself to the Holy Land

very best products. In London it scored

exploited in this country by the late Au-

'Plp Van WInkIe."
The Ferris Stock company at the Ly-
ceum will produce for next week Joe
Jefferson's greatest success, RIP Van
Winkle." the ideal American comedy
drama.
The story Of rip has been told for
the past fifty years and it is a represen-
tative American play that never grows
old. 1t is the human quality Of Rip Van
Wrinkle that makes him loved of all who
have ever known him. His unfailing good
humor, his native shrewdness, his Ger
weening fondness for "schnapps," his love
for children, his stories to soften his
wife's heart and his utter irresponsi-
bilfty-aN these are but items in the hu-
manness of the man.
In that wonderful act in the mountains
where Rip runs afoul Of Hendrick Hud-
son and his crew, this quality is brought
out in colors that contrast brightly with
the somber. silence of the phantom bowl
ers. Rips efforts to get on a friendly
footing with the strange men he has met
seem almost pathetic in the yearning fol
human comradeship they reveal. Indeed
the comedy of this inlpersonation all
through is of that sublimated kind thai
lies on the borderland of pathos.
Johnson will characterize the lazy, shift
less drunkard, Rip Van Wrinkle; Robert
Folsom will be seen as Derrick Won Beck

The story is we'll told and abounds in
clever situations, the lyrics being particu-
larly bright and singable. Fun has been
scattered with lavish hand. Among the
best of the musical numbers may be mem
toned: In the first act, the songs, Love
Has Come from Lotus Land" and THE
Lady's Maid; the duets, "a. B, CO.
When You Are Wed to Me-" and "aDmee

1.-THE Six Little Wives" and the beautiful
concerted number, 1.-The Moon In the
second act Mr.. Monckton has the songs,
Chinese Sojer Man. "Rhoda and Her
Pagoda" and TITS Nice to Be Boy" as
well as the quartet, Back to Lon

act are "Pletty Littee Chinese" ''The

wit in its lines, Il Mean to Introduce 1t
