THE MARCUS SHOW.

The Marcus Show, something unique in theatrical attractions, will open its Wollineton-season on May 8 at the New Opera House. The company, with a personnel of nearly 100, presents three lavish revue productions, "La Vie Paree'." "Broadway Vanities." and "Revue Continental. In each of these revues there are more than 30 scenes, the performance lasting over two and a half hours. The cast includes 22 principals, a chorus of 25, and a ballet of-30. In ."La Vie Paree." one of the most striking ensembles is one entitled "Maids of Silver," in .which beautiful girls symbolising the precious metals of the earth appear in thousands of yards of silverencrusted draperies. Another spectacular scene from the same revue is "Under the Andalusian Moon," into which is infused much of the fire and energy of the Spanish character. This scene introduces ■ the- distinguished ringer Senorita Sofia Alvarez, and also ;he dancing Bernays, who perform the dazzling •"Danzer de Passion." Still another impressive scena from "La Vie Paree" is- "Birdland," in which eight members of the company perform hazardous feats on trapezes high above the stage.
