"THE MAN IN THE MOON."
"Land of Nod."
reasons why "The Lnnd of Nod" has
been so unusually successful is on
account of its decidedly uniipie char
acter creations and tho novelty and
picturesqueness of the piny, which
are brieflv described as follows: Tho
prologue shows a beautiful garden of
flowers, where children "are at play.
Little "Bonnie" falls asleep beneath
a ro,ebuh. and the change of scene
to the first act discloses her in "The
Lnnd of Nod." Tn this mysterious
sleeplaud. with such strange features
as a peppermint river, a house of
cards, a candy bridge, bnlloon trees
and mushroom palaces, Bonnie starts
exploring. She encounters "The
Jnck of Hearts" and his parent.
"The King and Queen of Ilenrts."
"The Weather Man," who mnkes all
kind of weather while you. wait:
"April Fool" and the "Snndmnn" and
his pal, "Knockout Drops," and the
merry old "Man in the Moon." All
of these queer people contribute to
her amusement and entertainment. In
the second net the "Nightmare Pal
ace" of the "Land of Dreams" is en
tered and the plot, begun in tho pre
ceding net, is carried to n logical
! conclusion.
The production represents nn
'enormous investment nnd is said to
be one of the most magnificent spec
tacles ever sent en tour. The cast re
mains nlraost the same since the or
iginal performance. Knox Wilsou,
who has always been the featured
comedian, will be seen in his original
part of "April Fool."
Prominent in the cast are Noil Mc
Neil and Anna McNabb, who have
been stnrred and featured with big
musical productions for several years
and are great favorites here. Other
