CINDERELLA,
A Magnificent an Beautiful Production at the Opera
 House Last Night.

It is with regret we state that only a fair-sized audience witnessed the production of Cinderella at the Opera-house last night, but those who did were fully repaid for their trouble, as it was one of the best amateur performances ever seen in our city. Miss Bogardus is to be congratulated upon the success of the evening as it was through her capable management that contribu- ted largely to the success.
 Master Clifton "Warde" Howell, as the rich Price, surprised allpresent by the delightful way in which he ren- dered his lines.
 Master Neal Bell as Dandini, a valet Of the Prince, was again up to his quiant ways of acting.
 Master Roy Hanf. as Lord Balder- dash,a bankrupt Baron, was elegant considering the short time he had to learn his lines.
 Allidora, tutor. us impersonated by Master Alphonse Honnet, was a good character and well taken.
 Master John Bloom, as Buttoni the kings fool, was as funny as he could be and caused merriment in the audience by his comic singing and actions.
 Misses Ruth Goldsmith and lola Philpot. as the two step sisters, were beautiful to behold and like wise played their parts well.
 Miss Hilda Honnet, the God mother, was very amusing and pleasing to the audience.
 Miss Zip White, could not have look ed more like fairy than she did last night and took so well in the part of the fairy queen that she will be an important factor in home talent productions ill the future.
 Miss Fannie Hanf, as Cinderella, was the star of the play and she played her part so well that she was frequently applanded all through the play.
 The fairy dance by Misses Clara Nevil, Bessie Fox and Fannie Gillespie was very pleasing.
 During the performance highly in teresting specialties were introduced by some of our best local talent.
 Miss Fannie Kaufman sang and danced Down where the Cotton Blossoms Grow in a truly profes- sional like style.
 Miss Ange Merlo again demonsta- ted to the public that she has danc- ing abilities that are equalled by none in this city, and the gypsie dance last night won for her laurels that she may well be proud of.
 Master Arthur Mehlinger sang "McGinty at the Living Pictures" in his usual quaint way.
 Miss Jewel Altschul sang "Doris" in a weet voice.
 The dancing of English Peasants was indeed very beautiful and grace ful.
 When You Know the Girl You Love Loves You" was the song that Miss Jet Bell won a great deal of applause on.
 Miss Jennie Altheimer in her clear, rich voice recited "I have Drank my Last Glass in such a manner that she proved herself worthy to be placed among the many dramatic stars on the American stage.
 Mr. Frank Yowell gave good inn personation of m old time negro preacher.
 Miss Bogardns favored the au- dience with a fancy dance every movement of which was grace itself. She was frequently applauded for her many fancy steps.
 The performance concluded with q comic negro sketch by Messrs. Frank and Willie Vowell in the title roles. and proved to be a 'side splitter
 The affair will be given over again next Saturday afternoon at the Bluff City Club hall, and we trust that q much larger audience will be in at tendance, as it is deserving of liberal patronage. After the performance Saturday afternoon dancing will be indnlged in until 6 o'clock. The price of admission has been reduced to 15 and 9 cents.
