"Ancient Koine," the most complete
production of the world renowned
and' beautiful subject ever designed,
invented and produced by Pain, the
pyrotechnicr.l king1. This great rep
resentation shows th? ancient city
ivith its streets. Forum Uomanum.
temples, arches, statuary, etc., the
great scenic city, covering iver ten
thousaud s4jttare yanls of oil painting
upon wood, iron and canvas; a niar
velotisly realistic effect is- attained,
and it require' no stretch of imagina
tion for the auditor to feel that he
is viewing the original chy, and. that
he. lives jn the days of Nero, and the
terrible destruction of Koine.
Over three hundred performers take
part. This is l'ain'si original spectac
ular production of the salient dra
matic and thrilling epsodes of the
momentous and romantic story of
"Ancient Koine," vividly tort raying
the characteristic ami radiant cos
tumes. Romanesque and picturesque
pastimes in the days of Nero. The
prodigal' extravagance and voluptuous
revelries of the Komau Court are
shown with historic accuracy in fes
tal gayities and dancing divertise
ments. Fireworks Feature.
The glorious Pain's fireworks are
among the big features, and the
nightly displays are simply marvel
ous, and of the most modern kind,
embracing the recent Fain designs,
and seen no other place except with
Pain's pyrotechnical presentations.
