In it the old nursery story of "The Three Bears" is briefly embodied, but so enriched with Up-to-date matter that it takes on a new interest.. The story is by Gladys Davidson and the melodious music by F. Maker. There will be a full operatic orchestra.; The ages of the performers range from five to 13 years. Miss Mac Donald has designed all the costumes'of the'fairies, butterflies, and brownies herself,, concentrating on harmonious colouring and paying special attention ,to'i lighting effects.
