FUN STAGED
MAGICALLY
Kitty Gordon to Be THE
EnchantreSs'' at the
Newark.

x n ONDAY evening, April 5. will be
MI a gala one at the Newark Thea
tire, when Nictor's Herbert $
newest and most successful comic
opera, 1.-The Enchantress," comes with
beautiful Kitty Gordon in the stellar
role for the entire week. This piece is
Mr.. Herbert's favorite composition. and
with a number of critics he believes
that 1t surpasses even his other famous
successes, Babes i'm Toyland' and
Mile Modesto" Certainly Mr.. Herbert
has never allowed more exquisite melo-
dies. more truly lifting dance music and
triumphant finales to ripple from his
pen.
Both THE Enchantress'' and Miss
Gordon come with the Endorsement Of
a highly prosperous run of four months
at the New York Theatre. The charm
ing prima donna, it will be remem-
bered, is the strikingly handsome Eng
1sh prima donna whom the notable
French sculptor. Rodin, called at a
symposium of French artists last sum-
mer the most beautiful woman on the
stage.
The piece is a genuine light opera
woven around a love story of the gay
crown prince of a mythical kingdom,
Graustark-like; a story trimming with
humor and amusing situations. The
book is the combined work of H. B..
Smith and Nine. Fred de Gresac, who
is well known as the author of ia
Paserale," one of Nine. Rejane's most
popular plays, and her light gallic wit
is evidenced throughout the piece.
Mr.. Gates in his twenty years as
has never made so lavish a
production. and he has been unusually
fortunate in the selection of a cast.
The piece is said to have cost in the
neighborhood of 5000 before it opened
at the New York Theatre. The piece
is interviewer with buoyant, breezy
dances, delightfully."- presented by fasci-
mating Nellie Mccoy and by Ralph
Riggs and Katherine Witchie, the new
Australian eccentric dancers, who
came suddenly into fame in THE En-
ehantress'' through their sensational
work.
Arthur Forrest also makes his first
appearance in musical comedy in this
piece and brings to it the distinction
he gave to his romantic roles. Among
the other well-known members of the
company is the English tenor Harold
Torde, Nenita Fitzhugh and Louise
Bliss. the c|oloratura sopranos; Hattie
arnold. Harrison BrocFband. leading
baritone with George Edwardes' COM
ranies at Dalv's until Mr.. Gates
placed him under contract for the role
cf the regent, and George Ridgwell.
another ~favorite English leading man.

been the principal factors in the con-
struction Of "The Hastings Big Show"

The very TACT that it requires two
large railroad cars to transport the

ton of the grandeur of the Harry
Hastings big shows Offering, which
consists OF "An Ocean JOY Ride and
"At the College Inn two happy bur-
lettas, and a galaxy of vaudeville
stars, who would share in artistic and
headline bonors at any frst-class va
