giving itself solid education in dramatic
and lyric art. 1t has given four successful
representations of "Mustapha." an operetta
member of the club. After the first produc-
ton the talking part of the play was cut
down considerably, and more dancing inter-
5ected, to the great satisfaction OF the
critics, who otherwise found the whole
thing perfect. The costumes are gorgeous,
the Chinese songs and dances clever and
amusing and the whole action, is repiete
with life and movement. Unable to get
seats in the orchestra, Mrs. Bissell, like a
number of other ladies who desired to take
large parties, have done the next best thing
and bought them in the circle and balcony,
so that people of official and social promi-
nence will be found all over the house.
