HENRY w. SAVAGE'S WOODLAND
 COMING TO THE DORRIS.

The attraction at the Doris opera house on Monday, Feb. 24th, will be Henry w. Sayage's revival of Pixley and Luder's Woodland" which has been aptly described as a musical fantasy of the forest. In form it is one Of the quaintest and most dis tinctly novel stage productions of re- cent years. While it is a. comic opera, it differs so absolutely from the sur rent compositions coming under that head that it will be found ito be a wholly unique and original entertain ment.
 The element of novelty will be found to be most conspicuous in Woodland" No entertainment just like it has ever been presented to the amusement loving public in this or any other country. The story is i'm aginative and poetic; the characters have all been seelcted from the feath- cred tribes and furnish opportunities for a great diversity of suggestive cos tunes, from nhe broadly comic blue jay and rooster to the demure Jenny wren, the gorgeous peacock. and the silver r-thrOated nightingale. The story of the play is simple and easy to follow. King Eagle. the ruler of the forest. has sent for his son the eaglet, to come home from college and assume command of the royal army. The son is expected to wed his cousin, the Lady Hawk, but declares his love to Miss Nightingale and as he refuses to obey the royal edict and marry the hawk. he is banished. Shortly after.
