Der Of artists taking part in the arenic
programme has increased over former
seasons, the addition in the personnel
is more largely due TO the spectacle Of
Solomon and the Queen OF Sheba ="
which is this seasons feature of the
Ringing program. In this pantomine
the Wisest Of Israels kings and the
beautiful Arabian princess have been
made the center of a most magnificent
ly-costumed spectacle. 1t introduces
more than 200 characters, hundreds
of horses. and tells the story of a
period 1000 years before the christian
era.
This great wordless play, which will
be presented here. was staged under
the personal direction of Al Ringing.
Agents were sent to Europe and the
great mass Of costumes, armor, prop
critics, and trappings used in the pro-
duction We're designed after the re-
ports resulting from their researches.
Thus the spectacle is produced with
historic accuracy as to dress and ac-
coutrements and faithfully pictures the
extravagances of Solomon in all his
glory
The role of Balkis. queen of Sheba is
depicted by Nine. Bartik, Russian
actress, and a pupil of NJ. Pierre De-
vereau. the French teacher of panto-
mimic art Features of the big spectacle
include the music, introducing pipe

march. with the most beautiful horses
ever used in circus pageant: the
judgment hall. and temple of Solomon,

this big top is occupied by the
stages, from which the spectacle is en-

The Solomon and the Queen of

night. Extensive as it is the state
