which made its first bow to a London audience at the Lyceum last night, the Christmas season at the London theatres may be said to have commenced. It is a quaint fairy tale adapted from a French play by Messrs. Chivot and Vanloo by Arthur Sturgess. The Snow Man isin reality a fairy prince but he leaves his good little fairy queen and comes down to this earth. Here he forgets that he is in reality a fairy prince and flirts with mere mortals. As a punishment his Queen turns him cold and decrees that he shall chill every one he comes in contact with. Of course things get generally uncomfortable but all comes right in the end; women generally forgive in the long run and fairy queens seem to form no exception to the rule.
