FAIRIES AND BROWNIES.
They Entertained at the Opera House Last
Evening in Magnificent style-Suc-
cessful Financially

The Brownie" entertainment last
evening was grand success. A mag
nificent house greeted the Fairyland
performers and wonder mingled with
admiration as the beautiful tableaux
took possession of the audience. Then
laughter and merriment seized the on
lockers at the grotesque appearance and
comical actions of the little genii. It is
difficult to particularize where all did 80
we'll, but the leading parts were artistic
ally performed both in song and speech.
Miss Ida Jones as Prince OF the Brown
ie band, Lurline Logan as Queen Flora,
Edith Fawkes as Aesthetica, and HI. A.
Stahl as the Brownie dude, filled the
leading roles to perfection, both their
singing and acting being of q high order
and exceedingly we'll received Then
the choruses of the fairy maids in wait
ing to the queen were delightful, the
little sprites weaving in and out on the
stage like sylphs. Two mirth provoking
incidents over which men still talk and
laugh, were the Italian and bear by the
Logan boys ana the ''scrap" between
Earl McGovern and Leo Larkin, Brown
ie midgets. Perhaps the prettiest act of
the whole performance was the "Per.
fumed Fan" song and acting by Misses
LaPearl Wood, Minnie McGillivray,
Edna Koehler, Elma Sheridan, Lettie
Larkin and Leola Cornelysen. The au-
dlence was 10th to let them go even after
recalling them once. Many other indi-
vldual parts were SO adroitly played
that they are deserving Of. but too nu-
merous for, mention. The whole per-
formance has gwen the highest of satis-
faction. The evening was the most
favorable for gathering in many
weeks, and the receipts of the affair
were $llS.50.
A highly appreciated part OF. the en-
terta,nment was the music by the Mad
ison orchestra, the cornet duet, KIN
dred Souls" by Messrs. Ireland and
Waters, being especially fine. Prof.
/ Ireland, with the assistance Of Miss
Bertha Fawkes, did the greater part of
the training Of the children and singers,
while to Mrs. G. H. Wood and Miss
Fawkes is due the proficiency of the SIX
young misses in "The Play Of the Fan. "
