VIEWING THE FAIRIES.


Positively nothing but standing room left,
was the box Office proclamation when the
curtain went up on Golden Hair in the Land
of the Hundred Fairies yesterday. Children
and summer hats. and new gowns and fans,
and goodness knows what else crowded the
theater. The fond mammas nodded compla
Gently when their charming little ones, in
fairy frocks, with rouged cheeks and dane
ing eyes, skipped out onto the stage. The
children were open -mouthed in admiration
of the fairies and the bears, and several of
the little ones on the stage kept at a respect
full distance from the ferocious animals, and
moved uneasily away when they drew near.
The gowns were charming, and, i'll fact the
managers of the affair had occasion to look
at the crowded house with citation and pride.

The performance moved with a great deal
more smoothness and system than Wednes-
day. The chorus is wonderfully well drilled,
and sing with the conductor in a way great
many older choruses might initiate Mrs.
Deacon, of the Irving school, deserves all
honor for designing and drilling the march
in the last act. Mesdames Auerbach, Foster,
Deacon, Oppenheim, Tarbox. Snapp and
Booth assisted Mr.. Heath in the manage
ment, and arranged the numerous very tax
ing tableaux. The tableau at the end of the
third act, where all the children sleep around
Golden Hair, was very pretty indeed. Little
Greve Oppenheim, a cunning little Cupid,
stood at the very top of the pyramid. The
children all kept beautifully motionless,
though gilt-slippered feet. and gauzelbe-
decked bodies fairly quivered with excite
ment
The May pole dancers were daintily dressed.

gauze; Miss MCrry, Fairy in white and gold.

drop. Little Dan Moons yellow curls made
Little Puck as sweet as could be. Master
Auerbach was a very lovable Love in blue
tights with wreath of flowers. Little Ann
Sloan was typical Fairy in her white frock
Misses Emma Waterman and Lulu White
led the march. The larger boys headed by
handsome Willie Baker in a very becoming
Pages costume, won the hearts of all the la
dies, who assisted by their politeness and
good conduct.
L.
Merrills first song, sung in the wing, was a
very creditable piece of work. Great bou-
quets of roses passed over the footlights to
Miss Hawkins, Miss O'Leary, Miss Murphy
and Miss Farwell Miss May Morris was per-
fectly at home on the stage, and sang with a
great deal of expression. Master Fish. as
Tiny Cub. was very clever, and the antics of
the rest of the Bruin family quite brought
down the house. .
