Moving pictures are as nothing to this
delightful phantasmagorIa 1t is a sue

aerialists, who do amazing ballets sus-
pended in the air, one of them, with
out warning, astounding the audience
by darting over their heads clear to
the back wall of the theatre, all the
while scattering natural flowers to
those below. The music is harmonious
and catchy; the fun, rollicking and in
good taste; the Specialties, novel and |

For the first time in the history of
grand opera chorus of aIl-American
voices has been secured by Henry w.
Savage for his famous English Grand
Opera company. Mr.. Savage has been
drawing on American Conservatives
and music schools for nine years with
constant endeavor TO build up cho-
rus of home-schooled singers. Each
year he has been able gradually 10
eliminate the foreign voices, but never
until now was an all-American chorus
secured that could sing in English an
entire repertoire of masterpieces. The
and vocal strength of the
English Grand Opera chorus in the IA
nous marches and choral numbers of
such works as 'Lohengrin.' - Carmen"
II Trovatore," 'Tannhauser,' "Caya.-
eria Rusticana" and "Othello'' will be
one Of the delightful features of the
coming engagement in this city.
