Its pretty girls, its rollicling come
dams, its melody it's scenic splendor
and its gay costuming We promise
ourselves all these delightful fea
lures of this sort of entertainment
by offerings afforded us in past sea
sons from the same source that the
forthcoming production emanates--
Mr.. De Wolf Hopper, a past master
in the art of producing pleasing com

has not deceived us in years gone by.
when he brought us Wang, 8 Eel Cap
#itan,'ts'tDr- Syntax, .tThe Charlatan,'

wick and we have no reason to
question his ability to continue his Sc
RES in the same liberal manner as

attraction-Wang iii lavish revival
form: precisely as done at the Messrs-s

New York-there is material that
makes his company :. the most expen-
:s1ve musical organization en- tour
This statement whatever truth
may be in it's no doubt based on
not alone the excellence Of the stars
associate players. but upon the run
ming cost of the general production.
for it is known that, unlike in the case
of ordinary comic opera. Mr.. Hopper
carries every big and little bit OF
stage property used in his production,
