The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1905-04-05
At St. Paul Theaters

Klaw & changers production of
the beauty spectacle, Mother Goose"
is at the Metropolitan this week This
colossal presentation has set I'D two
big standards for other productions in
this country, standard of magnitude
and of gorgeousness. 1t is the largest
ana most deliberately staged spectacu-
lar production ever shown in this city.
The spectacle is advertised as more
than three shows in one" and this
claim is we'll founded, for each act pre-
sents measure of entertainment quite
equal to most theatrical productions of
Its class and more gorgeous than any
no matter what class. 1t is in three
parts, or acts, not marked by periods
In the story, but by scenes of especial
magnificence. 1t is plentifully sup
piled with rollicking fun and clever
satire on modern manners and cos
TUNES, not too subtle in quality to be
appreciated by the thousands of
youngsters as well as the grownups.
The company of comedians is one of
the best ever shown in a Drury Lane
production. Joe Cawthorne's humor-
Gus methods in the title role are more
pronounced than any character in which
this clever comedian has heretofore
been seen. There will be a matinee to-
day and Saturday, but no performance
Saturday evening.
Tomorrow morning the sale of seats
opens at the Metropolitan for the en-
gagement of Henrietta Crosman. which
begins next Monday night and con-
t1nues for a week. Miss CroSman's
visit has awakened decided interest
and there is a general desire to see this
gifted artist. Her fame is so great that
great treat will be expected from heI
performances, and that the public will
not be disappointed is assured from the
popularity she enjoys in New York and
the east, where she has spent the
greater part of the last five years.
During her week in this city Miss
Crosman will be seen in Mistress
NelI' and in the double bill of Nance
Oldfield" and Madeline" Mistress
Nell will be the offering Monday
Tuesday, Wednesday and THURSDAY
nights and at the Saturday matinee
gramme will be Nance Oldfield" anC
