This sacred drama, whose story is
taken from the Bible, draws travellers
from all civilized counties of the
globe, and the description of it which
was given, last evening, showed in an
excellent manner the grandeur with
which the story is presented. The
views of the village. the scenes from,
the play and the portraits of those who
take the leading parts, were distinctly
thrown on the screen, giving a clear
idea of the interest which must he

1.-THE Prince of Pilsen."

THE Prince of Pilsen" has recently
concluded a run Of five months in the
Shatesbury Theatre. London. and es-
tablished the best record for American
musical comedy in the British metro
polls since the days of 1.-The Belle of
New York " The English took kindly
to the piece in its entirety. THE Song
of the Cities" and all. 1t was first
feared that the American illusions in =
volved would not be understood and
the change was considered of making
British provincial cities the subjects f
the different verses. Finally it was de-
cidcd to stand pat and the number as
known in this country proved to be the
hit of The piece. Englishm"n cvid' ntly
have a more intimate knowledge of
this country than is generally under
stood. Following the run in London,
two companies were organized to play
the piece in the provinces. There is
but one American company this season
and that will be seen at the Opera
House, May 20.
