Senator Langdon the most congenial
of the long list of southern parts,
which he ever played, and his sue

Deming as Bud Haines, the brisk
young reporter, and these two made
a pair for Chicago to conjure with.
They will be seen here and will be
surrounded by the same cast of TWEEN

mirable support all summer.
There are four sumptuous sets of
scenery for the production, represent

supports her. The seats are now on

City of Mexico, plays upon an instru

the music is so different that one mus,

quainted with II Trovatore recognize
the scene upon which the music is
based. which is so we'll rendered by
the singers, Martelli and Rossi. The
Count di Luna is in love with Leonors

who is a prisoner in the hands of the
Count and who finally decides that he
