NEW OPERA HOUSE
How a little Kansas farm girl gets caught in a cyclone and believes she is carried to Oz, where she meets a Scarecrow who wants brains, a Tin Woodman who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who seeks courage, is described in L. Frank Baum’s fantasy, “The Wizard of Oz,” which began a further return Wellington season at the New Opera House on Thursday. All these characters go to the Wizard to ask hitp to grant their wishes. The farm girl wishes to go home again. After many adventures they finally get what they seek, because the ■Wizard shows them that it was in their power all the time to have and to do these things. Six catchv songs—“ Over the Rainbow,” “If I Only had a Brain, the Nerve,( a Heart,”'“We’re Off to See the ■Wizard,” “The Merry Old Land of Oz, “Ding Dong, the Witch Is Dead,” and “If I Were King of the Forest”—written by that svmphonious team, E. Y. Harburg and Harold Arlen, embellish the story.
