A BRIGHT STAR.
1t is One of the Best Operas

Tho silver Slipper" is the most Ella
boratc musical production that has been
seen from the Academy stage in many

There Is wealth Of color that fairly
dazzles the eye with It's brilllancy. Tho

reflect every. color of the rainbow, move
in a constantly changing picture.

Is very clever. The music, probably, IS

most hear the cork pop. The dance is
clcverly executed, SO well. indeed. that
the audience was unwilling to allow the
performance to proceed and demanded
