"The Land of Nod."
A beautiful production of musical
comedy and extravaganza will occupy
tho stage at the Keith Theatre, Tues
day, Feb., 2nd, when "The Lond of
Nod" will be presented. This is ono of
those massivo organizations which aro
characterized bp a plentitude of comed
ians, singers and dancers, and numer
ous chorus and ballot, and in which
scenery, costumes and "effects" nre
lavishly displayed. 1 'The Land of Nod"
has impressed itself strongly on all who
have witnessed it on account of its de
cidedly unique character creations, such
as "tho Man in tho Moon," "Welsh
Rarebit," "Sandman," "King and
Queen of Hearts," "April Fool," and
similar unusual personages. Tho localo
in which they move is only encountered
in talcs of fairyland and in Arabian
Nights. It is all clever and interesting
and its comedy is whole and good. Tho
musical score contains plenty of tho
jingling, catchy sort of composition
which enlivens and satisfies. Practically
the somo excellent cast which mado
"The Land of Nod" so conspicuous
among New York successes constitutes
tho present, company, including Knox
Wilson, who will bo seen in his original
part. Prominent in the cast are Neil
McNeil and Anna McNabb. The sale

The next number of tho lecture

To toll all that Mr. MacQueen has dono
would be to take up space and time

Santiago, with Lawton in tho Phillip
pinos, with K nigcr in South Africa,
with Kiin' George in Greece, and Unit
ho has just completed a trip through
central Africu over the route which
Roosevelt covered besides travelling at
spare times through Siberia, Japan,
Venezuela and Panama, one can get an
idea of tho wealth of information and
tho richness of oxperienco which Mr
MacQueen has at his command. The
lecture next Saturday ovening will be
on his travels in Africa and is entitled
Ihe Land and the Game Where
Roosevelt Hunts." Tho lecture is il
lustrated by many colored views but
would be a wouderful lecture if there
were no pictures. Every.boy and girl
