THE TIK-TOK MAN OF o."

Oliver Morosco, an ambitious and
able producer, having taken l.. Frank
Baum'S latest "OZ" stories in hand
and built a production around it, will
present this creation for the first
time here at the Grand tonight.
From all . precedent accounts, the
"Tik Tok Man of o." as the show
piece is called, is among the most
successfully launched in recent years
Beauty of scenery, sensuousneSs of
music and modernity in comedy are
some of the things both Mr. Morosco
and Mr. Baum have had in view
when they wrote and built this new
medium of public entertainment.
Mr. Baum has gone deep into the On
cult for his latest characters, and
some of them are said TO be the limit
in Enthusiastically. The audience is
TO first glimpse new array of eccen-
tries among whom are the Clockwork
Man, the Princess OZma, the Shaggo
Man, Queen Ann af Oogaboo, Poly
chrome, Betsy Bobbin, the girl from
Oklahoma, Hank, her pet mule, Pri-
yate Files, and the strangely ac-
coutered army of Oogaboo on the
march for the search of Shaggy's long
lost brother, who is held without
hope of habeas corpus in the domain
of the Metal Monarch, King Ruggedo.
By all the foregoing means, jointly
and severally. MIR. Baum hopes once
more TO demonstrate that his write
hand'' in the construction of true
fairy tale for grown-upS has not lost
its cunning. The picture effects are
said TO be of the most magnificent
description, and the transformations
among the best ever attempted in thu
later years when not little manager
ial courage is needed, not only in tn,
production of such a show piece, bu'
in keeping il on the road With on,
hundred or more assistants.
The cast is the result Of natura
selection; that is to say, no actor o
actress was asked TO join the Tx Tol
forces that had not given a good &C
count of himself or herself In severa
previous ventures of the musica
show piece and fairy-Story kind. Th
roster of visitors includes: Mortol
