BABES IN TOY
LAND" NEXT FRIDAY

The attraction at the Nixon opera
house Friday evening, February 18,
will be the gorgeous musical ex-
travaganza, "Babes in Toyland," with
music by Victor Herbert, and book by
Glen MacDonough.
"Babes in Toyland," after pretty
noval and suggestively dramatic open
ing, drifts into extravagant comedy
and later emerges in the bizzare of
burlesque successfully accomplished. 1t
is "big'' entertainment, richly and
variously costumed, filed with a
chorus of beautiful girls, trained by the
best chorus director in the country,
punctured with songs that are not
cheap enough to be trippingly
whistled, but pretty enough to invite
second hearing, and spattered with
comedy that is clear cut, clean and
clever in dialogue as well as whole
somely free- from vulgar suggestion
The staging and costuming on a
scale of magnifcenda; the harmony of
color shown in the ensembles being
most beautiful.
The management announces that the
principal New York production viii he
given here complete in eevry detail of
regal magniicence, just as presented
for over year and a half iu. New York
and one year in Chicago to crowded
houses at every performance.
"Babes in Toyland" needs no in
troduction to Winnemucoa theater-
goers, as it was one of the chief at
fractions of last season.
