little stply in the true pantomime: tra-i dition, providing an effective link for the.difacult dance nuipbers. Briefly, the stoity centred' around Prince Hand­ some, son of the King of Pantomime^ land, who, having attained his majority, had a ball given in his i honour. |The Prince, hot yet betrothed, on the! day of the ball jmet Rosalinda, eldest daughter of the Old Wojman.who lived in a shoe, and promptly fell in love with her. But an evil-minded witch appeared on the scene and lured Rosa]- lind into the heart of the forest.;.
