The Opera House was finely deco rated and, with the tasteful booths and costumes, representing nearly all nations with characteristic dances, it was strik- ing and beautiful piece of work, which may be characterized as artistic. There were some odd and comical renderings making Laughter hold both his sides, noticeably the dance of the babies. The audience, generally, understood the ba- by dance on the program literally and, when tall six-footers appeared costumed as babies, some arrayed as if about to be put in their little bed, some with rattle boxes and some with nursing bottles, smile broke out that reached around the hall. Their dancing beat the Gypsies. It was gotten up at considerable expense, but large sums were taken in nightly and about $500 was realized for q worthy cause.
