full extravaganza Babes in Toyland" for the wonderful completeness of its new and passihgly strange electrical effects.
 One picture which cost nearly thou sand dollars to create and which en- yoked the genuine admiration of every one who Saw the production during its long run of 2J0 nights at the Majestic theater last year Is the amazingly real istic appearance of the thousands of butterflies which are seen swarming from the enchanted shores of Toyland as the .shipwrecked little Alan and Jane approach it after having been sent as their uncle thought to death in scuttled ship.
 The parti-colored wings of the but terflies as they swarm along the shore line of Toyland is gorgeous in the ex- treme
 One would think that the butterflies were the real live creatures and it is only the more astonishing when one realizes that the pictures are project ed by two electrical machines especial ly built for the purpose. Another picture which is wonderful in it's nearness to nature is the storm scene. The troubled waters surge and roll in their impotent rage the inky sky cloud massed and lowering is riven by tongues of forked lightning. An idea of the money these effects cost Messrs Hamlin and Mitchell may be had when 1t is considered that one of the corps of experts of the Metro politan Stage Lighting company spent four months experimenting before the work of building the especially con- structed machines was started. Besides the regular stage electricians which every first class theater has, Hamlin and Mitchell send three cleo tricians with their road production of this musical comedy. Prices are 9. %. 75c, $1.OO and $50. Sale of seats Monday.

The selection made for the opening of the summer stock company at the Jacques Monday afternoon In Hall Gaines "The Christian" promises to be A most popular one. Viola Allen, who played the part of "Glory Quayle" for the first time hn America few years ago made so much of it that she jump ed at once into the leading rank or American actresses. The receipts for the New York engagement were almost incredibly large and the play was taken on the road by Miss Allen with the same success everywhere that was the fortune of the venture in the big cities. Companies were sent out on tour different sections of the country and they all did phenomenal business. Since that time The Christian has been a decided favorite with stock company patrons and never falls to in- terest even those who have seen it many times. There is something in the lines that forces attention and the dramatic situation no matter how often witnessed are always absorbing. The sympathies of ordinary people are usually with the under dog and 1t is i'm the fight John Storm. dreamer. so- cialIst. reformer and religion enthusiast makes against his chosen foes. eccles- siastical and social corruption. in the endeavor to win the woman of his choice.

The piece has lots of hard common sense truth In 1t and although the character of the plot Is most serious one. there is sufficient brightness in the role of Mrs Gallen- der, John Storms staunch old friend to save the play from the adjective ..grewsome- The work of rehearslng the drama has been going on with re Ientless vigor twice a day for the past week and from an indication 1t Is safe to propheSy a fine. tasteful and artis- tie performance Especial attention has been given hy stage director Hoey to the business of the mob scene In John Storms quarters in Soho. and the action has been worked up to a pitch of realism that Is sure to create the greatest enthusiasm Price< are 10. aD sfld 3o cents: matinee 10 and D cents: ladies 10.

Queen Victoria was an expert and in
defatlgable knitter. During the Egyp-
tian campaign she and the ladies' of the
household employed themselves in
knitting quilts, which at the end OF
the war We're sent to Netley hospital
for the use Of the wounded. One Of
these, made entirely by her majesty
and bearing an elaborate V. r. in the
center, was the coverlet par excellence
OF the institution and in universal de.
mand for a time. In assessing the
claims Of the candidates for the honor
OF sleeping upon 1t the medical star
naturally gave the precedence TO the
most severely wounded, and as the
most severely wounded was the one
most likely to die very soon, alas, an
evil omen attached itself to the distinc-
ton, the climax Of which was reach
ed one night when a poor soldier, feel
ing something touching his bedclothcs.
woke up with Precipitation pouring
down his face and cried out, ooh. sir.
do anything you like with me, but for
Gods sake don't give me the quilt"
