the refusal OF the calcium light to burn ana other
trining drawbacks incident to the first perform
ance Of 80 elaborate piece, won high praise
from all present.
Manager Pori has evidently played trump
card in bringing out Humpty Dumpty at the
Academy. The piece will certainly run more
smoothly and be generally more attractive now
that its first performance Is over That the public
appreciate this fact is shown by the circumstance
that more than half OF the best seats for tonight
and tomorrow night are already engaged. The
prospect Is that the jam of last night will again
and again be repeated.
The Schutzen Club Mask Ball.
This season has been rich in private and public
amusements, and our German fellow citizens
ever ready to advance our material interests and
never slow to promote our legitimate enjoyments.
determined not to let the winter pass without
another Of the mask balls, for which they and
their excellent societies are already famous.
The mask ball given at the Music Hall last
night by the German Schutzen Geseilschalt was
very brilliant and, in all respects, successful For
some days past the members and friends OF the
society had been making active preparations for
this occasion, and German wit and ingenuity
had conspired with their usual surety OF success
In the makeup" of the affair. Consequently,
last evening" AZ about 10 O'Clock, brilliant array
OF maskers promenaded the ballroom to the mu-
sic OF fine band, ant ere long the scene was one
OF lively animation ard dazzling beauty.
To describe the scene in q ballroom during the
progress OF an ordinary mask ball Is no common
task, but when our German citizens are the par
ties, to give proper idea OF the wit, fun and
frollc Is just about impossible. Imagine gaily
decorated room, In which the little comedy OF
life, with all its characters and natlonallties is
being performed. The sturdy, healthy Germans
OF Charleston and the steady Carollnians take the
parts, and with their gaily colored costumes, are
ranging about In oil sorts OF figures and postures.
The Turk; the Greek, the Scotchman, the Pole, the
switzer, the IrIshman, the Negro, are all repre-.
sented In the scene, and are mixed up indlscrimt-
nately. The Pacha or Egypt, with all his grand
attire, hands the humble and pretty peasant girl
through the mazes OF the dance, and my lady the
Princess Di-Mun-D Is perfectly at home with the
Clown as her partner and Sam Patch as her utsa-
uis. And, horror yonder goes pretty nun arm
in.arm with his Satanic Majesty, and jealous
Tartar, who notices the admiration OF his pretty
the Old Boy. And thus the scene progresses, and
the more one looks the more is found to study.
The costumes last night were grave, gay, fan
tastic grotesque, comic, wise and otherwise. AS
the witching hour OF twelve approached the fun
grew fast and furious, though still perfectly de-
corous, for perfect order is one thing which may
always be counted on at German festivity.
At twelve O'Clock the masks were taken or,
and there were many queer recognitions. many o
SURPRISE and one at least which was too startling
to be agreeable. Then the dancing became gene
raj, and was continued to q late hour, when the
tired masEers wended their way homeward TO
dream happily ofanother mask ball.
Great credit Is dae 10 the committee OF arrange
ments who were indefatigable in their atten'
sion. They contributed largely to the peasantrics
OF the evening, aud were rewarded by the unlver'
sal praise awarded the results OF the long labors
OF themselves and their society.
