The play, while rather unsuited from its
Frenzy tone and strained sentiments. to the
abilities of children, was acted in manner
that would have done credit to adults. The
little folks were remarkably free from
anything resembling stage fright" being
perfectly easy and natural or demOmStrative
AZ the passion portrayed demanded. The
little ladies in the leading roles, having the
best parts to perform, were naturally in a
position to do better than their fellow play
erS, but even the minor roles were remark
ably well done. The large studio was
crowded to SuffOcatiUn with spectators.
Much credit is due Mr. and Mrs. CaIlendar
for their success in the really handsome
stage settings and in their successful hoSpi-
tality shown the large audience.
