pany numbers over fifty people and
the scenic and electric effects are so
heavy and numerous that it takes two
sixty-foot baggage cars to transport
same.
The first act is laid in an English
music hall. with the unique effect Of a
theater on the first night of a new
production carried out in full. There
is seen a stage upon a stage and the
play within the play with the effect
of the raising and the lowering Of the
curtain, which is followed by the
wealth and beauty Of England in a
grand promenade de toilettes which
is pleasing to both men and women. as
it shows the newest sensation of this
fall season in all their magnificence.
The costuming is OF such charm and
splendor, and so extensive that four
lady knights of the needle are con-
stantly needed for its care.
