of complications haa ever been offered

elaborate ever attempted by them, ns
the comedy required n very elaborate
scenic production and beautiful cos
tuming. The supporting compuny haa
been selected with great care and em
braces many celebrities In the farce
comedy world. The large chorus of
male and female voices has proved a
novelty In farce comedy, and Is a de
eded hit.
It was Inadvertenly stated In The
Georgian Tuesday that Murray and
Mack were billed for next week, where
as the company begins Its engagement
here Wednesday night.
