The preparations for the operetta on
the 18th are rapidly progressing. All
who have heard it agree i'm pronouncing
IT very attractive in music and scenery.
The beggars come upon the children
who are out on a summer picnic. and are
rudcly repulsed by all except Lala. who
insists upon their being allowed to share
the feast just in preparation. Later in
the day. having wandered of i'm search
of wild flowers. she suddenly discovers
herself lost. and night rapidly approach
ing. In terror she calls and cries. till at
last she thinks that perhaps an angel
might come to her deliverance if she
asked. Accordingly she kneels down TO
pray. Now we listen to thai beautiful
prayer from Der Frcischutz." incor-
porated into our church music books.
Suddenly band of fairies appear, whom
she concludes must be the angels. They
urge her to 90 to fairy land with Them
but she remains firm in her entreaties to
be allowed to return to her friends. The
fairies take her back to her companions,
VINO are mourning her loss. and urge
the children to make her their queen.
Laila inquiries why she should be crown
ed, when the fairies reply that her kind
ness to them when they came disguised
as beggars proved the qualities of her
heart such as to Justify their demand.
Whereupon she is crowned by the child-
rem amid loud reclamation. Miss Nav
Powers. who has just returned from her
studies in Boston, presides at the piano.
There are acts only, and Il second part
is added to consist of character songs
in costume. in which some of the tiny
children take prominent parts. NJ
