“Sanitary Fair Week . . . Fifth and Last Week of the Brilliant Spectacular Drama Aphrosa, or the Spirit of Beauty and the wonderful illuminated fountain of real water. All the varied hues of the rainbow reflected in dazzling splendor. Living fairies, Grand Corps de Ballet, Gorgeous Scenery, Elegant Costumes, and Appropriate Music combine to make this the most attractive piece ever presented to the public, which, notwithstanding its immense success must be withdrawn.”
