The popular operetta given by the
High School Literary Society, assisted
by friends in the city, at the Opera Lall
Friday n,ght.drew very large audience.
Every available seat on the first floor was
occupied and most of them had been re-
served In advance. The galleries were
also crowded with an enthusiastic. youth
full assemblage, mostly Of school boys,
whose emphatic encores more than once
brought the curtain up a second time.
The little opera Of Golden Hair" was
handsomely costumed, and every act Of
the five was thought better than the one
preceding. Each member of the cast
seemed to show some special aptitude
for the work assigned them. The music
was charming, OF light, catchy
kind, and was particularly
we'll rendered by the principals and
chorus. The scenes we're also effectively
staged. The woodland green was clev-
erly represented by natural trees, rocks,
and foliage. The throne, on which re-
posed tie fairy queen, was beautifully
embeilished with cut flowers and green
boughs. The children of the chorus
made the most pleasing of pictures. All
we're girls, dressed as fairies are supposed
to be clad, in light tleecy garments,
daint,ly made and brilliantly adorned
with bright colora.
The opening aceue presented them to
the audience surrounding May pole
carrying earlands of flowers and enjoy.
ing woodland fairy holiday. A flower
girl wandering along scatters the group.
The stranger is called "i3olden Hail" "
who was impersonated by Mrs. E. J..
Schwellenbach, who acted and sung the
same admirably, throughout. The fairy
queen seek the jewels Of Bruin,
member Of q lordly and tyrannous family
that lived hard by. The queen, which
part was assumed by Mrs. d. Pearoe. with
much ease and grace, and sung in q clesr
we'll cultivated soprano, plans for Golden
Hair to purloin the GENE from Bruins
den. A Bard, living close by, IN. the
green aisles of the wood, appears and de-
tects the danger put on the flower girl,
by the wiles Of the queen. The good
poet was singer in fact as we'll AZ name.
and no one Of the principals appeared to
better advantage than Mr.. Frank LEM
in this role. His excellent tenor voice
was used to great advantage, and his
solos were often applauded.
Much Of the fun OF the en-
tertainment was furnished by
the bear family consisting Of Mr.. Or
lady as Big Bruin, Clayton Smith as
Nanny Muff, and Willie Davidson as
''Tlny Cub" little fellow Of sweet man
aers and voice, whom the ladies declared
was ''too cute for anything" The bears,
wandering in the woods, find Golden
Hair sound asleep on q green mound.
This was beautifully represented, and ap-
peared natural in every way. Will-o' the
Wisps' Miss Addie OFT, IS also q charmed
protectress Of Golden Hair, and che
suddenly appearing, clad in bright
red, carrying red light that flashed
frightened the bears away.
But the flower girl is still bent on get
ting the jewels and ventures in to the
abode of the bears, tastes Of their por.
ridge, examines the furniture and finally
falls to sleep on Tiny Cubs bed. She ls
discovered, and would have been lost
had not the faithful Bard warned her Of
danger and by his assistance she makes
her escape. The fairies search for their
friend but fail to find her until the fairy
Faithful reveals the snare the Queen has
cot for the stranger, who is supposed to
be dead. The fairy children depose their
Queen, who retires to other lands in
disgrace without her attendants, Light
foot, Miss Luella McHarg; Frallty, Miss
vesta Moxon, and Airy, Miss Emros
Warnock.
Soon, however, the Responding fairies are
charmed to hear Golden Hairs voice
again, and she appears accompanied by
the Bard, who is crowned King in place
Of the fallen queen, amid great rejoicing,
and many fairy dances on thegreen.
