ORPHANS BENEFIT Afternoon and even
ing Saturday there was a full house at the
Metropolitan TO witness the extravaganza,
- Jack and the Bean Stalk arranged by
c. NJ. Prodger, who managed the entire az
fair. The result must have been very
satisfactory gain for the orphans Christmas
fund and the Infants Shelter The extrav-
aganza was light and called for very little
action as arranged. Those who took part
acquitted themselves with credit. These
were r. T. Cohn, as Jack, with pleasing
songs; Miss Gertie Carley, with songs well
rendered; Mrs. May Stevens Hubbard, as
the fairy, with song, effectively rendered
f. w. lngham as Giant Thunderbolt
lonly Mr. lngham was not SEEM; Mr..
Prodger as Jacks Friend. with a humor-
GUS stanZa Ernest Frau, a very good

cidedly good; Messrs. Arnold, Goepel,

ual OF arms Messrs Chambers and Camp

Messrs. Potter and We'll in an excellent
and graceful fencing bout; Messrs Klein

artistic representation under direction of
w. f. Jackson; Charles B. Eilerman in
well-executed cornet solo. Professor S. J.
Won Hirsch arranged and directed the
music, and presided over an excellent or
chestra. G. A. Neale played flute obligato
to Mrs. Hubbard's song. George Boyne
painted effective scenery especially for the
piece. 1t is not expected of amateur per-
formances, for single occasion, that dra-
matte action of any role will be manifest,
nor was it in this performance; the text
afforded little room indeed for it. The
chief attractions, therefore, were the musi-
cal, the military and athletic exercises,
which were all creditable If Mr.. Prodger,
whose energy and perseverance on behalf
of public charities is so commendable, in
managing entertainments will keep the
stage management in the background, and,
if possible, wholly out of sight, there will
be greater success, and the attention of the
audience less unpleasantly distracted by
the too plainly manifest direction upon the
stage.
