Mother Goose.

Those who failed to see the operetta of
Mother Goose at Craddock's opera-house
last night, as performed by Mrs. Dickin-
sons pupils. missed rare treat. 1t was
matter of general comment how children
20 young could have been so accurately
and speedily trained for the several
parts. There were some of the recita-
lions that were rendered with infection,
information, gesture and general characteri-
cation that would have done credit to
the skilled elocutionary Glasses; The songs,
piano solos and duos were all admirably
rendered by the little ones. The costumes
were in full accord with the requirements
for the play. The march by the young
ladies and smaller girls was executed with
military precision, that elected the loud
est plaudlts from the audience. Mrs. Dick
inson deserves the highest praise for the
thorough manner in which she does the
work that lies Ia her role as
after year she has taught these scholars
with a completeness and thorouRhness that
shows her TO be perfect teacher. And be-
sides this, she manages TO win their alice.
tions ana their fullest confidence.
Much credit is due TO Mrs. L. II. Page,

ment, for the manner in which she has con-
QuCteQ the SUCCESSFUL pIOCccrco duu
