TIE TURNER DOLL BAZAAR.
It was Well Patronized and Successful in
All It's Features.

| The Doll Bazaar given by the Ladies
Society of the Turnverein on Saturday
and Sunday was strictly a happy and
well-patronlzed affair. The lecture hall
was we'll filled and nicely decorated with
beautifully dressed dolls and attractive
handiwork and the ladies sold goods with
rapidity that was highly encouraging.
In the large hall meals were served dur
ing the day and evening and in one corr
ner there was a Turkish Cafe where four
young ladies in Turkish costume furn-
ished hot coffee after true Turkish style.
In the opposite corner Mrs. Jarley's Wax
Works were being operated with con-
stant change of scenes. In the evening
c musical and literary program was rem
dered before quite large audience, Miss
Hummel and Hugo Fischer reciting hu-
morous selections, Chas. Toberer and
Max Burg giving flute and either duet
and DR.. F. w. Fr1tsche and Jos. Gales a
fine cornet duet with piano accempaui-
ment.
Sunday evening the hall was packed
with people to listen to '.'s Lorle'' or
''Dorf und Stadt." The play is one,
which draws the distinctions between
the simplicity Of life in the country and
village, and the formality of life in the
large city, and in order to make the de-
stinction strong and at the same time in
teresting the author takes a beautiful
country girl and throws her into the
company of al artist, who for the time
being is completely captivated by her
charming simplicity and soon makes her
his wife. He takes her to his home in
the city, where, on account of the re-
stricted laws of fashion and former
love, he is aggravated by the very ma
turalness which not long before induced
HIM to become her lover and her hus-
band. This girl was represented by
Miss Ella Setter and she drew the char
acter we'll. The great secret of good act
iEg is to draw the attention of the audi
tors, not so much to ones self, but rath-
er to the other participants in the scene,
and while representing the unassuming
Lorle as addressing the prince, she
caught the secret of the art and made the
scene truly life-like one. Without IA.
turalness play or a character falls fiat
while he who possesses it never fails to
please, no matter what the character
Fred Spoerhase has it when it comes to
acting certain roles and he displayed il
particularly on this occasion as "Del
Llndenwirt," the aged father and blunt
old innkeeper. Miss Annie Neumann is
also entitled to this criticism, for al
times one could almest forget that it Wat

only of Lorle's faithful friend, Baerbel
The role assigned to Mr.. Steinnauser
that of the artist lover, was difficult on,
to portray. but he executed it skillfully
and with good effect. 1t was such &
character as no one is naturally fitted
to represent, and a successful portraya
of which depends solely upon ability t(
grasp the authors idea and then to Civ
1t to others, endeavoring all the while tt
forget your own individuality. The char
acter of Elfr1eda is much the same, in tha
it is seldom found in ordinary life, bu
Mrs. Albert Setter gave it true concep
ton and a finished execution. These
with Mr.. Fischer as Stephan Reichen
macher, were the principal characters anc
