The New Black Crook.

Unlike most spectacular productions
"The Black Crook" calls for first
class dramatic cast for its proper rem
dition. Messrs. Miller and Plohn, the
present managers of the extravaganza,
have selected a company which 1t is
claimed is much superior to the ordi.
nary run OF these sort OF plays. They
discovered that with the improve
ments In stage mechanism, with the
advantages offered by New York's
studios today and the opportunities
for interpolating modern acts, a re-
vival would be a success. And 1t has
been, for in all Of the large cities this
season "The Black Crook" has played
to capacity houses. The final trans.
formation scene, the presence Of such
acts as 1.-THE Donazetta Family" and
