ELECTED frequent encore aud applause.
Mr.. McWade appeared as prince Pop

pretty fellows. he enacted his solemn
role with becoming grace and dignity.
"Cinderells" was persouated by Miss
Leona Caverdi, beautiful fairy crea-
ture, who is worthy to wear the glass
slipper and all its honors. Mr.. flanagan
came out as Baron Balderdash," and
made aashing old baron. Miss Viola
Plunkett as "Thisbe," the baron's
second daughter, sustained her character
unusually we'll. The others int the cast
Messrs. Dovey and White, and Jennie
Navarre-were excellent. The entire
performance was highly creditable to

of applause. Mr.. LefhugwelI is without
rival in his line, and those who like
laughing-well should see Lefingwell.
