An Ovcrf owing Audience-A Grand En-
tertainment.
y. NJ. c. 4. hall was never fuller than
on Monday the 9th. Mr.. Fuller himself
will acknowledge this fact, having ex-
hausted his energy in trying to find seat
! ing accommodation, when there was no
/ longer standing room. Scores of people
went away in despair, while the stairs
and very windows were occupied. Some
| people of the line of Zaccheus even inside
the entertainment off the programme, Of
which fortunately there were enough
| copies for all, and perhaps got as much
consolation out of the letterpress as
Bunthorne from his lily. The gentle
telephone hint to leave balloon hats at
home was honored by very few, and
these would not have done so had they
not preserved the relics of the 1867 mode
- a rosette in the middle of a ribbon.
The entertainment opened with the
overture, ''Ernanie Fantasia" delight
fully played on the piano by Miss Emily
EalStead. Then the tableauX were put
f, rward. They were so excellent with
1t exception that it would be invidious
to single out any one or more for special
praise. Each representation produced
nurmur of admiration throughout the
audience and was heartily applauded on
withdrawal The first series was as fol-
lows:
Goddess of Spring, Miss Cornwell;
Pandora, Miss Dowsett Multiplication
is Nexation, Gertrude Brown; The Sui
tar s Favorite, Miss Hassinger; Physche,
Mss Mist; Simple Simon, J. Q. Carter,
Jr., and +. FaXon Bishop; \ Dutch
Housewife, Miss Levers; Elaine, Miss
+ len Hopper; Nydia, Miss Ward;
: Illaby, Gertrude Brown.
l. may not be a breach of the decision
pr eviously arrived at, to say that "Simple
Simon" was the most comical, and
"Lullaby" the sweetest scene displayed.
In the latter the effect was heightened
by the soft treble notes OF the child i'll
singing "IIush-a-by baby"
Mr. H. w Peck effectively recited the
death OF the Old Squire" but in re-
Spouse to applause gave Il good deal
tanner piece. The second series of tab
leaux was equal in al respects to the
first, being as follows:
Mater Dolorosa, Miss Fuller; a Sea
Nymph, Miss May Atkinson Cleopatra,
Miss Coney; The Minuet, Miss Kinney
and Alfred w. Garter; Subtraction is
Distraction, Marion Scott; Portia, Miss
Widdifeld Comedy, Miss Weight:
Tragedy, Miss Bernice Parke; Ophelia,
Miss Dillingham;; Good Night, Miss
Emily Halstead.
Lord Ullin's Daughter" in panto-
mime was nicely introduced by Miss
Adele Widdifeld reciting the famed
story Of clandestine matrmony and
parental wrath thereat. The represen-
tation was very cOmically made by Miss
Helen Chamberlain, Captain Staples,
Mr.. BiSsell, and Master A. +. Judd, Jr.
A duet was sung in superb style by
Miss Bcrnicc PaTke and MIR. a. ID. Bis
sell-Miss Parke being entitled to all
the more credit from having at a late
hour taken the place Of Mrs. f.. G. Da-
mon, who had Withdrawn on account Of
an affection Of the throat.
"The Goddess Of Beauty"-a masque
was the closing piece. Not only were
the girls participating therein tastefully
lltired for their respective parts, but
really their elocution taken altogether
was superior to everything in that line
preceding. A rather pathetic episode
was the crying of the "Child" who did
her part with the best, but whose
shoulder was puncturcd in pinning on
the star with painful effect. 1t made
the little one more realistic actress
than her lines required. Those appear
ing in this part were the following named
The Goddess, Evelyn Dexter; Dawn,
May Damon; Day, Juliet King; Twilight,
Lottie Lee Hartwell; Night, Sadie
Lederer; Flowers, Ada Whitney; Forest,
Lidic West; Sea, Myra Angus; Child,
Ethel Angus.
