Theatrical Notes

"The Forbidden Land" one of the
biggest and most complete spectacular
comic operas on the road, satisfied a
large audience at the Kentucky last
night. notwithstanding the fact that the
patience of the audience was sorely test
ed by the late arrival of the company,
which did not ring up the curtain until
five minutes TO ten o'clock.
The show is direct from Chicago, play
ing its first one -night stand at Spring
field, ILL.,, night before last. The compa-
ay jumped to Paducah and the train
was delayed by wreck in Missouri.
The company arrived at 1885 and it
required some time to unload the two
cars of scenery. One of the actors made
a short explanatory speech TO the audi
ence and Deals orchestra entertained
the audience until the curtain was rung
up.
After the show began the people felt
well repaid for their wait for never be-
fore were such fine scenery, elegant cos
tunes, pretty chorus girls. excellent

that which left the theatre at 1880
O'Clock after the curtain had been rung
down on the last act.
No notice of this magnificent produc.
ton would be complete without word
for our local force. Stage Manager viii
Malone deserves great credit for the
characteristic manner in which he and
his men handled this great production
They put it up within remarkably
short time, and there wasn't hitch, al
though two carloads of scenery were I'M
loaded and staged inside of less than
two hours.
Prof. Deal and his orchestra are also
entitled TO no little credit for the able
manner in which the opera was played.
He and his men played it all without a
rehearsal and didn't make a single mis-
take. II shows what our home people

comedians and exceptionally good voices
seen on the stage of the Kentucky. The
show was cut short in one or two places,
but not enough TO interfere with the
production. The musical numbers were
repeatedly encored, and the tired singers
and comedians worked like Trojans TO
satisfy the audience and repay for the
unavoidable delay.
There were four principal comedians
ia the cast, Gus Weinburg as DIR. Ferdi-
nand Klotz, William Cameron, who play.
ed kinkaboo, Hugh Flaherty. who played
a Hindoo fakir and Ethel johnson, who
took the part Of Hulda the Swede maid

was feature in itself. Miss johnson
in the last act was by far the best
Swedish eomedienne ever seen in Padu-
cab. Miss johnson, Mr.. Cameron, Mr..
Weinburg and Mr. Flaherty were never
all absent from the stage and there was
of course comedy for all all the way
through the show.
Mr.. W. II. Clarke, as The Barca Tar
jun, the potentate, has deep bass
voice. Abbott Adams, as CONDO, chief
of the Lhassa guards. had not much
chance for good work, but portrayed the
character with great skin.
Miss Alma Youlin, as Nina Donna, the
Tarium's daughter, and Miss Mamie Ry-
an. as Dorothy Fairfax, niece of DR..
Koltz, divided the honors as primma Jon
as. They both have excellent voices and
are women Of more than ordinary beau
ty.
Joseph A. Phillips, a tenor singer of
much force, played the part of Thomas
Wilkinson, an English artist
The company was perhaps the best
balanced ever seen in Padueah. There
was not a weak singer in the cast of
principals and the chorus was large and
well trained. The show was satisfaeto-
ry in every detail and not better salts
