The big musical comedy will be presented here ex- actly as it was presenfed for one year, at the Park Theatre, New York, with Victor Morley in the principal male role. Eighty-six picked singers are in the company which comes and goes in state by special train 'and carries enough scenic embellishments to stage two ordinary musical shows.

The late Henry B. Harris was the fortunate manager to se: ure the American rights and he pro- duced the musical comedy absolutely unchanged, but with an American cast as a year ago at the Park The- atre, New York.
