THROUGH -FOUR HOURS.
On the morning preceding the first per-

which dragged through four hours. In the
first act. the supers went through their
vocal gymnastics. under the stage. for a
few minutes, and were then sent back again

where the properties are kept, and which
also serves the purpose of the super's

to report promptly at Z o'clock for the
