Tyltyl unlocks the key TO a miser's
heart and discovers that he isn't
really a miser. but just a misguided
human being. This is one Of the
most effective stage pictures ever
drawn. and when the boy staggers
away under the load of vast store
Of the miser's gold the audience Is
invariably swept away on waves Of
/ Applause.
There is also a wonderfully hui
man scene in the fairy's storeroom
where Tyltyl, having dropped the
magic cap sees sweethearts QUARREL
ing over him finally engaging in
real free-for-all. only the entrance
of TyltyTs friend Light, bearing
the cap which she has picked up
on the trail, restores peace and har-

When Tyltyl arrives at the abode
Of his ancestors he finds. as most OF
us would in similar circumstances
that some of them were a pretty
spotty lot. Was there ever a muir
derer in our family" he asks
aghast and his fairy guide says: "Of
course. stupid, there is one in every
family"
A beautiful scene reveals the
abode OF the unborn children, and
when these children appear in
I myriads. representing perhaps a
dozen generations, Tyltyl Is over
whelmed But the children are the
only ones who can pick out their
mother from the many sweethearts.

matte spectacle since THE Blue

linck and produced in America by
Mr.. Ames.
The Betrothal" recently given its
premiere at the Shubert theater is
a sequel to The Bluebird" In it
Tyltyl continues alone the search for
happiness on which an enraptured
public followed him and his little
sister MytyI some half dozen or so
years ago. This time the wOodcut-
ter's son embarks on an expedition
10 discover his true mate.
Under the guidance OF our old
friend, the fairy Berylune, Tyltyl
summons all his sweethearts and in
company with them sets out to the

This Tyltyl, grown almost 10

command. he summons. TO the
trysting place all the girls with
whom ne is IN love. Then the little
rascal reveals that ne Is a gay dog
in the making, for an even half
dozen OF the maidens of the forest
and the village answer the call.
Socially Tyltyl is catholic in his
tastes. his sweethearts ranging from
the naughty daughter of the mayor
TO the humble beggar maid who sits
at the bridge in the village. Il is
evident that Tyltyl has an eye 10
beauty, for six more pleasing mai
dens than these have never appeared
together on any stage. And there
must be more TO the boy than ap-
pears on the surface. for each of
these bewitching damsels loves him
madly.
The magic cap this time sur
rounds Tyltyl with an atmosphere
which makes for peace and harmony
