The carnival masquerade at Mozart
hall last night, given by the Mozart
club. proved to be one of the finest and
most picturesque affairs Of it's kind in
the history Of ST. Paul.
The programme was an extremely at
tractive one.
A special stage had been erected for
the DAM orchestra of twenty-five
pieces, in a corner at the right of the
regular stage. From this point the
orchestra during the interval between
the opening of the programme and the
raising Of the curtain, discoursed the
following excellent musical programme
''Lohengrin March," Wagner; selec-
ton from "Cavalleria Rusticana," Mas
cagni: waltz. "Mein IDEAL" Won Blon;
selection from Bohemian Girl" Balfe;
waltz. "Wein Webb und Gesang."
Strauss: Overture to Tannhauser,"
Wagner.
After this programme had been in
terpreted the curtain was raised and
the following spectacle was presented:
Introduction of the Prince and
Princess Of the carnival, P. V. Larson,
as the prince and Miss Aurelia Danz,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Danz
Jr., as the princess. This was a very
pleasant surprise to all, as 1t was ex-
pected that Andrew Heckler, as he did
during the last ice carnival, would ap-
pear at the final moment as princess.
After the introduction Of the prince
and princess Of the carnival, various
other groups followed, representing diff
ferent nations. The first was a group

and Henry Bueger and John Thill.

scented by Max Hazenbach. Adam

CAST, William Merz and H. Werner.

from Eschenbach," or the "Meister-
singer" constituted the next group.
1t comprised Louis Betz. Frank Wer-
ner and Charles Bloeser.
Diana and her nymphs then appear
ed. Mrs. Joseph Borchet impersonated

Yeager and Mrs. Emile Treager and
Mrs. Laura Rank were the nymphs.

followed as the fairy prince and prtn-
cess.

ated by Miss Ida Theobald. This
character was followed by a group Of
angels represented by Misses Kerst.
w
ecke, Gustaveus Voedisch, Mrs. Adolph
Giesen and Mrs. George Rank.
Hugo Driese, as st. Peter, preceded
Andrew Heckler. who in the garb Of a
monk, kept close to the heels Of ST..
Peter.
The most interesting group was a
collection Of American Indians and
Squaws, who were presented by the
Goddess Of Liberty with the American
colors as they appeared on the stage.
The noble red men and their wives
were represented by John Prendergast,
August Miller, John Giesen, Misses A.
Art, Jennie Murphy, Mrs William
Couradi, Mrs. John Giesen, Mrs. H r.
Driese and Mrs. Joe Giesen.
AS each aggregation appeared on the
stage the orchestra played a national
air Of the country represented. and the
representatives of the various nation
alities then descended to the floor from
the stage and made a circle Of the hall.
After this came the grand march,
headed by the prince and princess Of
the carnival.
During the march four especially in
teresting figures were noticeable. They
were Miss Olga Hilbert, g. blackbird;
Miss Emma Hilbert, a butterfly; Paul
DrinkovitZ as the car Of Russia. and
Anna Doyle, as a newsboy.
The browning event of the evening
was q magnificent myramid formed on
the stage by all nations, with the God
dess of Liberty as the central figure.
The picture was received with ap-
pIause, while the orchestra played
America"
The Goddess Of Liberty was imper-
sonated by Miss Giralda Voldisch.
One of the surprises of the evening
was revealed when the company I'M
masked at 1880. A portly gentleman
who had worn the visage of King
Gambrinus proved to be none other
