2128 - L. Dec. 21:4/3 - The great spectacular drama, ALADDIN, produced
for the first time in many years at the Academy of Music, was very success-
ful. The audience was more enthusiastic over it than a Clevelard audience
has ever been over any other play. Mr. Ellsler as the dumb slave, "Kasrac,"
exhibited pantomimic power that might be ranked in the first order of comedy
acting. The piece contains the unique and original Chinese umbrella dance.
