Little Hazel Haas and Ada Ehrlich and

character was taken of in an excellent
manner, and the pantomime was heartily
enjoyed by every one. The dancing of the
mtnuet was specially artistic.
-Four acts make up the pantomime. In
the first the father and mother of the groom
occupy seats at one end of the stage. The
bridal party enters, preceded by little ones
strewing flowers in its path. The attend
ants separate on each side, the bride and
groom pass between aud bow to the father
and mother, and all hands join In the min
uet dance. After the dance the bride whis
pers to her attendants that she is
going to hide, and runs off to a
closet, where she gets into chest which
locks ard makes her a prisoner. She dies
in her hiding place. The attendants make
fruitlesS search for the bride and return
disconsolate.
The third act shows q scene fifty years
after. Twelve children are dancing the
Maypole when an old man, who was the
groom. suddenly comes among them look
ing for his long lost bride. The children
becoming frightened run away. The fourth
act shows the housekeeper (which was rep
resented by Mrs. Greenwood) and num-
Der Of children playing about. One OF
them suddenly finds an old chest aud en-
deavors to open 1t. The chest falls
to pieces and one Of the children finds
a piece of a veil among the wreck. She run:
to the housekeeper, who suddenly remem-
bers the lost bride and begins to tell the
story OF her disappearance. About this time
the old groom enters, and on being shown
the piece of veil recognizes it as the one
worn by his bride the day she disappeared,
and drops dead.
The children acted their parts in the
pantomime excellently, especially the dane
ing Of the Maypole, AID showed evidences
of careful training. The performance was
so successful last night that it will probably
be repeated at an early DAY.
