'PINAFORE,' = WITH
REAL SHIP IN REAL
WATER, TO BIZ GIVEN
Little Buttercup Will Sing
Her Famous Song in a
Rowboat and Tars' Chorus
Will Ring Mid Rigging.

''Pinafore," the famous Gilbert and Sui
livan opera, is to be produced in Phila-
delphia on the deck and in the rlgging
Of an exact replica Of Admiral Nelson's
flagship, the victory at the Forrest The
atre, opening next Monday night.
A special advance force of mechanics
from the New York Hippodrome where
the show was produced last summer on
magnificent scale, will start tearing UP
the stage OF the Forrest Saturday night,
and will be working all night and all day
Sunday constructing the ship.
Real water, on which will be rowboats,
will surround the big vessel The masts
will rise high UP beyond the view Of the
audience, and some of the chorus men
will sing from positions on the yards Is
feet or more above the stage level, or
hanging to the ratlines like real sailors.
Most of the stage of the theatre will
have to be cut away to make room for
the ship and the water. There will be
nothing left of 1t in front but a thin
strip of bulkhead, and all the action Of
the play will take place on the decks or
In the rigging of the ship The masts will
support furled sails.
The famous Little Buttercup' song
will be sung in rowboat that will swing
into view around the stern of the vessel.
When the production was staged at the
Hippodrome the ship ran straight across
In front of the audience. At the Forrest
the size of the stage will preyent this
but the management is better satisfied
with the new scheme of building tho
ship on slant, running back to the rear
wall of the theatre. This gives a large
water space and gives more realistic
effect.
Arthur Vogetlin, the mechanical genius
of the spectacular Hippodrome produc-
tion, made the model of Nelson's flagship
for the opera in New York, and will su-
perintend the construction in this city.
The original flagship is now at Ports
mouth Harbor, England, unless 1t has
been moved since the beginning of the
war.
The main deck of the ship will be about
u feet above the level of the stage. Some
OF the action will be on the quarter
deck, which is 10 feet higher. The COM
pany numbers nearly 150 That part of
the stage not torn away to make room
for the ship and water will have to be
shored up to support the great weight.
"Pinnfore" will play in this city two
>-eeks and In only nine other cities, owing
to the size of the production and the
lack of room. Chicago will not see 1t,
the management being unable to get the
Auditorium, which is the only playhouse
there large enough for the opera on the
scale being followed. From Philadelphia
the company will go to Boston.
