MIDSUMMER FETE AND LIVING
PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT
A SUCCESS.
THE GRAND is WELL FILLED.
VARIOUS NUMBERS PLEASING
AND THE PARTS PASS OFF
SMOOTHLY.
MUSICAL NUMBERS VERY GOOD.
Entire Change of Programme for
the Remaining Three Per-
foTInanceS.

An opening night is not always a
guarantee of a packed house, even
II the performance is given by pro-
fessionals, and although that express
sion cannot be used in speaking of
the audience that assembled last
night at the Grand opera house to
W1teness the first of the four enter
tainments to be given for the bene-
fit of the babies home, still the
house was very comfortably flied.
The audience was d representative
one, the greater part of the opera
house being filed with the society
people Of the city. Everything that
could be done to make the opening
OF the season an suspicious affair
had been arranged by Manager
K1ngsbury beforehand, and the
newly fitted up interior of the the
alter presented a very attractive ap-
pearance. Everything in and around
the house has undergone complete
remodeling during the time that the
house has been closed, and every
thing was in readiness for last nights
performance, which really opened
the season.
The women Of the babies home
board who have labored so hard for
the success of this entertainment
deserve a great deal of credit for the
smooth way in which every detail of
the performance was carried out
AS yet it is impossible to estimate
how well their labor has been re-
warded, as most of the tickets sold
were for the four performances, and
nothing definite can be learned until
after the series is over and all re-
turns in.
The performance as a whole was
very smooth, the parts we'll taken
and, although the numbers We're we'll
chosen, the performance was a trif1e
long, and the waits tedious. The
performance opened with the pict-
ure "a Lesson in Embroidery" in
which Misses Josephine Carr, Gussie
Pope, Flora Auerbach, Elsie Pope
and Annie Guthrie were posed. This
was followed blythe Fisher Maiden
by Josephine Carr; Cupid" by Miss
Grace Thompson; Natures Mirror
by Miss Grace Hallowell, all Of which
were extremely pretty.
The musical part of the programme
deserves especially to be mentioned,
all the numbers being exceptionally
good, and almost all of those who
assisted receiving repeated recalls,
to which they were obliged, owing to
the length of the programme, not
to respond. In the picture 1.-THE Sol
dier's Farewell" Frank Breed, Mr.
Smiley and Miss Hughson appeared,
and the quartette, consisting Of Mrs.
S. V. Harris, Mrs. Allan c. Krieger,
A. D. S. Johnston and Henry George,
gave the song, Allan c. Krieger act
ing as accompanist. Mrs. Krieger
also gave a solo number entitled,
MY Little Love-" During the pict-
ures of saint Cecilia" 1.-THE Nun"
and Grief" Mrs. C. B. Yale sang
1.-The Holy City, in very acceptable
manner.
A special feature that called forth
a perfect storm of applause was a
negro song and dance, and the sing
ing of Give Little Coons," by Topsy
Jessie Halloway), whose dancing
and singing were very charming.
This song was composed by Mrs.
Charles r. Croft, of this city, and is
now in the hands of the publishers,
W. J. Dyer & Bro.
