The entire performance was excel.
lent, each of the performers deserv'
ing special commentator for the
manner in which their parts were
rendered, and particular mention of
any would be unjust to the Others,
except in cases where the popularity
of the part removed it from the field
of comparison. The character song
of Grace Barnes we'll deserved the
encore which it received. Her voice
and acting were each almost perfect,
so mu;h so that few children trained
to the stage, and having the advant'
! age of professional precept and ex
ample could have excelled her. Hct'
tie Guild acted her part well, and
sang beautifully the song "Come in
and Shut the Gate" and her "Fare,
we'll" song, which was given with
sweetness and spirit, was received by
the large audience as a fit ending for
the evening performances so good
throughout. The midgets, Dottie
Fish and Freddy Sims sang their
comic songs in good voice and with
the solemn face and air of trained pro-
fessionsls of mature years. Their
reception YVES as hearty as the
strength of the building would per.
nit, aud the little ones came out the
second time without any self con
scious appearance which it is so diff
ficult for even experienced actors to
repress. At the close Of the exercises
Miss lisa Likens took the stage and
in short speech expressed to the
teachers in behalf of her school
mates the esteem in which they were
held, and In conclusion presented
each with beautiful gold pen and
holder, as mementoes OF the occasion
and tokens of regard.
