little Nemo.n

The most extraordinary attraction Of the year will be the engagement of Klaw x Erlanger's great musical comedy, Lit tie Nemo' which comes to the Jefferson theatre Monday for a stay of three nights and a matinee Harry B. Smith, the author of the book, based the story on the world famous cartoons of winsor McCay. Victor Herbert wrote the music, now lightly, now seriously numer- ous company appears in it and scenery. costumes and all trappings proper to a spectacle have been laid unsparingly upon it. Being an extravaganza, where all things are possible and being a spectacle. that multplies scenic opportunities, the action begins in the dream country and court of King Morpheus and proceeds to playground. a jungle, a weather factory the Land of St. Valentine, a Palace of Patriotism and wherever the fancy of MT. Smith and the art of the scenic artists and stage managers may lead it. MT. Herbert's music is plentiful in these regions; there is no lack of dances; the Palace of Patriotism has it's procession of the soldiery of the revolu- ton; the playground it's games, and the weather factory" the fantastic pro- cesses that bring sunshine or storm No less through all these regions wander sundry humorous figures; Dr. Pill for one; the mysterious Flip for another; the Dancing Missionary for third, and Little Memo himself for another, These four characters are in the capable hands of Joseph Cawthorn, Harry Kelly. Har- ry Clay Blaney and Master Gabriel
 There are fantastic figures besides, like the Candy Kid. brought in a box to Morpheus court, that monarch himself daughter. Explosions, eannibals and journeys by the battleships make incl dents of the way and in their pause the humorists set them down to ludic- rous anecdotes and condolences
 Little Nemo' Is in three acts and Il scenes and 1t is said to be the biggest musical comedy that has ever been pre- performers to play 1t and there are over 75 men behind the scenes to handle the intricate scenery and wonderful spectac- ular effects, The vast array of beau tiful, shapely young women wear near ly thousand costumes in the spec tacle which is described as the most re- markable that has ever been offered on any stage. Little Nemo' was the sen sation of last season in New York, Phil adelphia, Boston and Chicago and Klaw & Erlanger have retained the entire or iginal cast and production.
