Kiralfy's New Production

Bolossy Kiralfy's latest and most successful fairy spectacle, the "Water Queen," which is to be presented here shortly, is said to surpass all his previous efforts. The scenery is from our best American and European artists, while the costumes are beyond description. The ballet which. of course, is the main feature of the production, is the best eqipped Mr. Kiralfy has ever had. Not only are the principáis extraordinarily fine dancers, but the entire corps de ballet is composed of people all up in the art of dancing. "The Water Queen " is peculiar in its construction, resembling the pantomime so popular in London at Christmas time, through the typical harlequinade is absent, and for this reason is specially calculated to please children and draw family parties, to whom its purity and unobjectionable nature form strong inducements. The story of the play is as follows: A bold, brave and handsome young knight loves a lady fair. So also does Draco, the demon. Draco, with the aid of his horrible lurking and groveling devils, seeks to obtain possession of the lovely Lady Elsa, and to encompass the destruction of the gallant Sir Egbert. Of course the "Water Queen" always appears at the proper time, and waving her wand parlyzes Draco. All finally ends happily with the marriage of the young people, and the banishment of Draco. The play will be given at the opera house Saturday eveniner.
