1.-THE GARDEN OF ALLAH.m

~ he .GAhOEN Of ALIAr.
The attraction at the Metropolitan
Opera House in st. Paul, for the week
of Sunday, January 18th, will be the
Liebler Company's stupendous drama
spectacle, "The Garden of Allah"
This will be it's first Introduction to
st. Paul, although great many peo-
pie of this city and vicinity will re-
call the remarkable engagement the
drama played little over a year ago
at the Auditorium in Chicago. It is
identically the same production that
will be seen in st. Paul. The engage
ment will open at the Metropolitan
Opera House on Sunday evening, Jan
uarys 18th at o'clock, and will con-
tinue throughout the entire week with
matinees on Wednesday and Satur-
day.
There are few stages in the coun-
try that can accommodate the car
loads of scenery, animals, properties,
effects and people that are necessary
for the proper presentation of "The
Garden of Allah" and the stage of
the Metropolitan Opera House is one
of them.
The beautiful and engrossing story
Of :.The Garden Of Allah" Is familiar
to and admired by general readers In
all parts of the world. It is one of the
most wonderful descriptive romances
that has been written in modern
times. Mr.. George c. Tyler, head OF
the big theatrical producing firm of
the Liebler Company, New York, saw
the great possibilities for dramatiza-
ton that the, book possessed, obtain
ed the stage rights, then formed an
expedition and took with him Robert
Kitchens, the author, and a corps OF
scenic artists, and his general stage
direction to the actual locale OF the
story, the real Garden of Allah (Which
is the great Sahara Desert). The re-
suit is that many Of the scenes des-
cribed by Mr.. Kitchens in his book are
reproduced with great faithfulness In
the drama. Some of the main feat,
ures are the realistic sandstorm, the
gorgeous garden scene in the oasis,
the night sky in the desert studded
with stars, the dance hall scene with
the imported Algerian dancers, and
the fine old monastery Of Fl Largan1
The play Of "The Garden OF Allah
was dramatized by Mr.. Kitchens, 5au'
thor of the book of the same name
IN this work he was assisted by Nine
Navarro, who was Mary Anderson OF
the celebrated American actress. a
company OF superior excellence has
Ibeen engaged to portray the drama
Iprincipal among whom are Sarah THU
Ak, Lawson Butt, John Blair, Franz AMI

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Because

planned it in detail.
This transaction was Morgan's do

MOSCOW YESTERDAY.
Goes to Nez Perez and Idaho Counties
to Urge Establishment of County

the plan from this time on will be to
secure the necessary support from the
county boards in the various counties,
said R. B. Coglon, director of county
agriculturalist, who was in Moscow
yesterday.
Thus far four counties in Idaho
have successfully opel ated in advising
and directing farmers in various mat
ters connected with the scientific con-
duct of diversified farming am now on
my way to Nez Perce and Idaho coun-
ties to place the matter before the
county boards in seeking cooperation
in the establishment of county advisers
in those two counties.
at is necessary that each county
subscribe $4,000 for the first year, the
government adding $1,000. Each year
the government will subscribe $1,000
toward keeping up the work, the coun-
ty subscribing the balance of the ex-
pense above that amount A center is
designated in each county and a COM
petant adviser named who shall give
expert advise to farmers whenever
called upon to do so in the line of
general farming
