aided successor spectacle to

underground stronghold, and Nor
man Kerry, the lover and res
cuer. Fully 5000 people take part
in the mob scenes, the spectacles
on the grand staircase of the
opera and the gala performance
Of Faust" staged in the opera

cellars and the strange adventures
on the underground lake are
the big scenes of the story.
