xerS To foist on an unsuspect1ng pup
Tic, with a few girls on the ballyhoo
and inside a cheap imitation OF my
costly production; neither is 1t the
Creation" with which you are famn-
lar at expositions, for the reason that
In Euy production / have injected a
little streak of romance into the OLD
Biblical story, which innovation inter-
.s.sts not only the ultra-religious, but
everybody as well. The story goes
away back, supposedly beyond the
reach of time and gradually unfolds
down to the beginning of animal life;
then to the beginning of man, the
Garden of Eden, where all like ex-
hEhitions end, but we add -granu
sublime and beautiful tableaux show
sag Angels floating in feecy clouds
through space. 1t is finish superia-
lively impressive. This is show that
Il actually entitled to be classed a
feature show.
