Land cf Nod Coming to the Grand.
For a clean, wholesome and enjoy
able entertainment “The Land of
Nod,” which comes to the Grand
opera house Monday. Sept. 13th, en
joys a reputation which has not been
excelled in the history of the stage
in this country. It is not what is
termed 'up to the average’’ in mu
sical plays, but is said to {>e far su
perior and a decided innovation in
amusement lines. If you want to be
taken back to childhood days attend
a performance of "The Land of Nod.”
Here you will meet “The Sandman,"
“Welsh Rarebit,” “The Man in the
iMoon,” “April Pool,” and otheir
strange characters of childhood
dreams. The story and plot are well
worked out—" Bonnie,” a little girl,
falls asleep in her home garden and
is transferred to "The Land of Nod.”
where she meets all sorts of queer
creatures and people. “The Sand
man” plots and robs “The King of
Hearts” of all the hearts in the king
dom. Without these the inhabitants
of this strange country are powerless
to fail in love. Of course the hearts
are finally restored and everything
ends happily. Meanwhile, funny situ
ations are Introduced and some of the
most pleasing musical numbers.
The chorus is unusually large and
is drilled to a standard of efficiency
that is little short of marvelous. The
settings are very elaborate. One act
shows 'the Castle of Cards, with its
mushroom towers, a candy bridge and
the peppermint river. The electrical
and scenic effects make this one of
the most realistic ever seen on the
stage. The second act discloses the
Nightmare Palace, with its hideous
creatures, and is a wonder of stage
craft.
This season’s production will he
the most pretentious since the orig
inal performance. Knox Wilson will
be seen in his original part of “April
Fool.” Prominent in the cast are
Neil McNeil and Anna McNabb.
Among the other well known and or
iginal members are Louise Tosier,
Marion Mosby, Dorothy Ellis William
Morgan, Nelson Riley and Louis Lytle.
A feature of the production is the
chorus and ballet, which is said to
include some remarkably beautiful
girls. The organization is one of the
largest musical companies to be seen
here this season and deserves capac
ity business. The sale opens Friday.
Four Henry Miller companies are
now rehearsing in New York City.
The first one to open the new season
will be the New York Company of
Associated Players In “The Servant
of the House,” which will be seen
here early this season. A special
company will go out a week later to
present the Kennedy play in the large
cities of the middle west. Mr. Mil
ler's own company for “The Great
Divide” in London and the company
that will play the Moody drama in
this country are also conducting final
rehearsals. As soon as these produc
tions are out of the way rehears,".:*
for three impending new productions
will begin a't the Savoy theatre.
Tyrone Pc wer, who plays the Drain-
M'tn in “The Servant in the House,’*
and Wilfred Roger, who takes the
part of Manson, were both members
of Henrietta Crossman’s company in
"The Christian Pilgrim.” Mr. Power
played the part of the Spirit of Evil
and Mr. Roger assumed the charac
ter of Christian’s counselor and
friend. These two talented actors,
as well as Miss Crossman, made a suc
cess of their roles and received enthu
siastic praise from even the critics,
who went on record against the dra
matization of the famous Bunyan ak
legory.
Charles Rann Kennedy, author of
The Servant in the House,” has com
plefed his new play, “The Idol Break
er.” It will be produced by Henry
Miller during the coming season. In
addition to this lates* Kennedy drama,
Mr. Miller will shortly produce a new
play by Langdon Mitchell, author Of
“The New York Idea,” and one by
Paul Armstrong, author of “Salomy
Jane.” He also has the scenario
of a new play by William Vaughn
Moody, which will probably be ready
for production next spring.
