scenery Of this fantastic piece was
designed by DubritzsEy, one of the

represents the interior OF a Paris toy

couple and two peasants, bent on pur-
chasing some wares. Various me-
chanical dolls are shown them, and
finally Pavlowa, the fairy doll They

are put out, and the fairy doll waves
her wand. Instantly the scene is
transformed to fairyland. A sky filed
with comets and fiery stars looks
down on black pool surrounded by
all sorts of fairyland properties. The
dolls all come to life. The chimney
sweep makes love to Pavlowa, the
fairy doll, greatly to her disgust Jack
