ducti0n Of the greatest Of English
Drury Lane spectacles, Mother
Goose, beginning an engagement Of
one week with matinees Monday
lChristmas) Wednesday and Satur-
day. An idea of the immenisty of
this production may be cleaned from
the fact that more than 400 comedians,
singers. dancers and pan tomimists ap-
pear in it, and there are II scenes,
each as elaborate as an entire ordinary
production and more beautiful than
ever before seen on an American stage.
The costumes number 1900 and cost
alone $75, 600. ssMOther Goose" ran
an entire year in London and all last
year in New York city at the New
Amsterdam Theatre. Ii is described
as being the mightiest exposition Of
beauty, quick rattling fun, charming
melody and spectacular magnificance
known to theatrical history. It's pro-
duction in Baltimore will be with the
original cast aud every detail of gor-
geousness which has made the present
ment the most talked of and notable
theatrical event of the past two years
in the United States. Never has so
much Tin the way of quantity been
offered for the money
The impression produced by Mother
Goose" is. that of beautiful dream of
color, costumes, calciums and hosts
of beautiful women, q dream that
never IstopS for a moment. Moving
pictures are as nothing to this delight
full phantasmagoria 1t is a succession
of startling changes. each more beau

do.amazing ballets suspended in the
air, one of them without warning as
| founding the audience by darting over
| their heads clear TO the back wall of
the theatre, all the while scattering
natural flowers TO those below. The
| music is harmonious and catchy; the
fun rollicking and in good taste; the
| speciatlies novel aud entirely different

tainment OF this kind. From a more
casual study of Mother Goose" it de.
serves the great success and lavish
