FEATURES AND NOVELTIES IN “MY SOLDIER GIRL”

Containing more than a score of novelties and elaborate scenic ideas, the musical spectacle, “My Soldier Girl,” the season’s greatest success,! coming to the New Ellis Opera, House, Thursday, May 20th, is without a doubt the most novel attraction of the entire season. The producers, LeComte and Flesher, have spent money freely to make this play elaborate in every detail —the first act presents an evening at Colonel Stone’s home, Miami, Fla., a lawn* fete is in progress and a night of gayety prevails—while the last act presents a brilliant musical spectacle measuring well up to the follies or Winter Garden in all its grandeur. The feature novelties are many, including the popular “Flirtation Walk,” and illuminated runboard extending from the stage almost to the rear Wall of the Auditorium. The novelty presents many enjoyable features as the 'bewitching beauties make their way right out into the audience. The girls, in novel drills and cleverly staged dances are a treat to look upon. A brilliant lawn fete with banks of flowers and lights—New York City in grand illumination and shimmering opalescent sceney fulfills every expectation. The famous “pony” ballet from the Roof of the New York theatre, is a revelation, while the cleverly selected cast is all that could be desired to make “My Soldier Girl” a success.
