ROOSEVELT CLUB S .PLAY Y
.... THIS XEAR EZABORAIE
cinderella and the Prince Is
Spectacular Ninety eight Per-
sons in the Cast and Three Hun
dred Costumes.

"Cinderella and the Prince,' the
musical fantasy to be given by the
Roosevelt club at the Metropolitan the
ater late in January, is probably the
most spectacular production that will
be seen here this season, and is, with
out doubt, the greatest scenic extrava-
ganza yet attempted by the Mime
five complete stage settings, and all of
these have been faithfully reproduced.
The first scene shows street in
Fairyville, the shop of Titania, dealer
in fairy wings, on the one side, and
that of Santa Claus, dealer in every
thing, on the other. From this dark
change is made and the home of Rob
nandez is shown. This setting is ex-
ceptionally beautiful. The second act
portrays the Castle of Heart s Desire.
The third act requires much shifting
of scenery and is spectacular from be-
ginning to end. The curtain goes up on
a dingy kitchen scene showing Gin
derella seated by the slowly dying EN-,
bers in the fireplace. Fairies enter and
by a few motions of their mystic wands
the whole scene is changed, and the
realm of Santa Claus on a Christmas
morning is shown. This is said to be
the finest bit Of scenery ever put on
by an amateur company.

persons in it's presentation, and to prop
| erly present these in the different scenes
over three hundred costumes are used.
stage 'properties.H lighting plays a
most important part in this years play,
and it requires eight men alone to run
the lights, as there are to be tWo spot
lights in the gallery, four the
"wings'' and two in the "flies.''
From a musical standpoint "Cin-
derella and the Prince is far ahead
of "Baron Humbug' or any of the
other Roosevelt club productions. It is
replete with catchy and tuneful num-
bers, prominent among them being
Louise Fisher, Ruth Banker, Mae Ban
ker; Messrs. Charles Castle, Leslie
Hughes, Squire Jones, Harry Higgins
Floyd Bottenfeld, Clarence Blake, Her.
man Anderson and Milton Carter.
