q brief history OF some OF her absent
children and mentioned that those Of
her band who were present would
soon tell their varied stories In sha-
dow pictures, tableaux and song.
First, the ghosts Of Old Mother
Hubbard and her dog cast their
shades against the screen; and
most remarkable animal this brute
must have been, for his apparition
could eloDgste end shorten, expand
and contract at will. A band Of chill
dren sang in delightful tune the his
tory Of the episode. This canine
wrath made one of the hits OF the
evening, and never wagged his tail.

arranged tableaux; Little Miss Muf-
felt beset with gigantic spiders; Red
Riding Hood, whose piercing and ma

ed to seize her, pleased the audience
much, and last a mammoth pie be-

king of the May. and her
majesty in pink and white
with silver crook soon finds her con
cert fast asteep on hay stack. The
queen next discovers the ring which
is returned by the royal pair to the
sad Lady Lea who out of gratitude
makes out new deeds Of the farm for
Mistress Mary. All ends well in
merry dance around a May-pole
wonderfully decked with many a
