punA, The Operetta promises to be
one OF tho most prctentious musical
productions ever given in a town
the size Of Newark.
Asslduous rehearsals have perfected
the cast Of principals. all Of whom
are Japanese characters. The mixed
chorus Mill be arrayd in picturesque
and cOlorful Japanese costumes, while
many OF the robes of high officials
and persons Of Importance surround
ing tho suler Of Japan and his Lord
High Executioner will be richly en-
brOidered
A beautiful scene Of a japanese
garden Is being prepared as a pictorial
background for the action. and the
Stage decorations will fairly repre-
sent the Sprlngtime beauty OF the
artistic land Of the cherry blossom
and chrysanthemum.
But whatever merit may attach TO
the stage decorations, the most im-
portanl thing in such a performance
Is the singing acting and ensemble
work Of the principals and The

hold out high promise or an exceed
ingly spirited performance. NOcally
