John Cort is giving to the theater
goers this season an elnborato revi
val of the greatest of all comedy
opera successes, "King Dodo." This
is ono ot the first musical treats that
comes to the Medford Theater Tues
day, December 7.
King Dodo of Dodoland is pos
sessed of the idea that ho would llko
to regain his youth. To this end he
does all sorts ot foolish things, such
as having the calendaf set back the
trifle ot 30 years and keeping his
colurt physician In constant dread ot
a violent death if he does not discov
er for him the elixir of eternal youth. J
A young soldier of fortune, Piola,
has had the temerity to fall in love'

Willi 111U JIU 3 MillU, 4YUl'l.l, UUU;
proposes to marry her. To this King
Dodo objects most strenuously, for
she is tne apple ot his eye and he In

take him to a fountain which will

all of the interested persons in Spoop

before her as prisoners she sees in

until a conspiiacy is batched and
Dodo Is given a drink from a spring
which is indeed a veritable fountain
of youth. Presto, the old king Is
transformed Into a boy.
This pleases Dodo, but the queen
will have none of him. Again the
conspirators come to the rescue, tor,
with the idea of drowning the favor
ite they throw him in the same spring
and by its marvelous power he is
again transformed into the decrepit
old monarch he was when the queen-
of the Spoopju people lost her heart 1
to him. Dodo is of a forgiving dis- his blessing and his kingdom to Piola account." Thus all of the compllca-
