Sancho insists on sharing his new found splendor with Dapple, his little gray donkey court etiquette perplexes him; false courtiers seek to betray him but in the end he out-wits them, and wins the hearts and approval of his sub- jects.
 As a background for MT. Skinner's magnificent charRcterization of the hu. morOus, picturesque SanchO, Russell Janncy, the producer has made an elab- crate production of the golden age oI Spain. Special music has been com; posed by Hugo Felix, who wrote Madame Sherry" Pom Pom" and "Marjolaine" The dances were ar ranged by Bert French of ''The Music Box Revue" Costumes and scenery was designed by James Reynolds of Ziegfeld's "Follies." The production was staged by Richard Boleslawsky of ths Moscow Art theater.

PAVING CHANGES LOOM

Due to a strong sentiment on the part of property owners on Second Avenue who will be affected by the proposed paving on that street, it is now practically certain that the major portion of the thoroughfare will not be paved from gutter to gutter, as was originally proposed, but that there will be provided in the center parkway some 20 feet in width, leaving 16 feet of paving on each side.
 It is said that this change will not only add materially to the beauty of the street but will save the city and the interested property holders some thing over a third of the cost of paving. As both the City Park and the new high school front on Second avenue, this proposed change will be saving to the city of several thousand dollars, and according to many will in no way de. tract from the usefulness of the street.
