Won't you walk into my parlor?

4. Astonishing Facts, Of the large number of theater-goers it is safe to say that very few have any notion of the wondrous mechanism which is instrumental in adding to the entertainment of "Around the World." A few figures will be of interest to all theater- In the production of "Around the World," Mr. Kiralfy uses 28,400 feet, or over four miles of rope, 60,000 feet, or nearly 11 square miles of canvas for scenery, and over 28,000 feet of wood for batten, wings for and pieces. "Around the World" requires in its presentation a greater number of costumes than any other similar production; 580 costumes, averaging 10 pieces to a suit, or 5,800 articles of wearing apparel being used, and yet Mr. Kiralfy can, among all these garments, distinguish where even the smallest portion is out of place.
