father's secretary. She was imprison-
ed and her lover ordered to leave the
country but he tnshloticd a little bout

down the canul to her Garden House
one night with a messago of love. And
she sent It back with another mes-
sage telling him to come and take
her away If he loved her us lie had de-
clared. While this waii going on the Man-
darin was making arrangements to
marry her off to a young nobleman.
The secretary came in a Chinese Junk
one night and carried her off to an
island where they lived happily until
they were discovered and sentenced
by Chinese law to be beheaded for
their offense. "V
Added to the beautiful scenic effect.
for which the Tony Sarg Marionettes
have became famous this dramatic
story has been set to music by Victor
Herbert who has collaborated with
.Mr.VSarg itutheproduction. With an
orchestra playing delicate Oriental
love music the never-to-be-forgotten
story moves rapidly to Its dramatic
ending which in this instunce Is n
surprising one for the course of true
love turned out smoothly even though
the Headsman had already raised hit
terrible two-bladed knnlfc over the
heads of the lovers.
Another features of the aMrloncttc
in the Willow Plate production Is the
introduction of a gayly-clad Mardurin
who stands outside the curtain and
chats with the "Honourable Audience"
about tho play the characters and the
Incidents as they are pictured on the
stage.
For the first time Mr. Sarg Is
keeping many of his methods secret
and few are allowed to witness the
working of tho Intricate and unusual
apparatus which makes possible this
novel orginlal and artistic ot all his
Marionette productions.

lar extra bid bought tho cow for the
Coggin Avenue Baptist Church. The
cow at the last auction had to go to
some benevolent instiution and much
