Theatrical Notes

The reason why ''Babes In Toyland,"
coming to the Grand Opera House to-
might, has succeeded is because It has
real artistic worth and from a musical
point OF view Is the triumph OF the
age.
The story dealing with the life OF the
fairy book children, Babes in the
/ Woods" Is so charming that every man,
woman and child revels in IL.
SO perfect Is the scene OF the lawn
party OF Mary Mary quite Contrary,
where Boy Blue. Red Riding Hood,
Miss Muffett, Jack and jill and the
other children are shown disportng
themselves that every person is carried
back to the happy days OF boyhood or
girlhood.
The scene when the ohildren get in
/ the enchanted kingdom of Toyland, Is
amazingly beautiful too. Here they
) have all sorts OF adventures. for they
are frequently mixed up with the toys
which the Master Toy-malSer OF the
world has invented and are so perfect
they can walk and talk.
