Pretty Operetta
See the Premium LOt

Everybody get IN line for the show
tomorrow night at Bakers theatre.
We are on the eve of seeing n of the
greatest operettas ever placed on Five
Mile Beach. 1t has 1.-THE Devil" beat
to a FRAGILE. Much time and money
has been expended t operfect all details,
the costumes in themselves being worth
the price of admission. And then there
are the three bears, real live bears
whose antics will keep the children in
a pleasant mood during the entire per-
Torrance, while the singing of the
bears will be appreciated by one and
all. The old fable which is portrayed
in the operetta is very familiar to both
young and old. AS it was always very
interesting to hear the story repeated
over and over again, you are therefore
assured of understanding the entire
performance from beginning to end.
Then, last but not least, is the singing,
which is heard during the performance
as it rolls in a light and delicate form

ing. First we hear the queen with her
clear rich voice seated upon the throne
and then the bard in answering tones,
makes one feel as though you were
seated in fairyland and Little Golden
Hair, with her golden tresses appears
before the queen and holds one spell
bound with her delicate voice and
beauty. The forest children will also
give much pleasure with their chorus
work, drills and fancy costumes. A
hit from start to finish will be this
operetta. Prices are moderate, all with
in the reach of everyone. Don't miss
it. If you do of course it will be your
loss and a large one. A musical treat,
rich and rare. Don't forget Saturday
evening, December 5th, 1908, al
