"THE PIXIES"
Novel Ente rtainment to Be Given. under
Auspices of W0man's Guild of
St PauI's Church.

ST. Pauls Church.
: At no time before has an entertain
ment of the character of the one to be
given at Concordia Opera house, Tues
day evening, August 16, been offered
to the people of WATERFOWL, possess
ing, as it does, such peculiar charm
for both old and young.
The following characters are repre-
sented: Pixies, representing every
nation under the sun, and much re-
sembling the Scotch ''Brownie;n
fairies, "ghttering with spangles and
robed in filmy gowns of lace;" the
wandering Italian with his trained
bear; the dainty butterfly guard; the
stalwart Amazons with spear and
shield; and the graceful Archer cadets.
The love of folklore is universal; and
all the bestowed mystic characters
are here seen in flesh and blood in
the most wonderful and laughable
adventures.
The entertainment abounds in fea-
stage, and is, new and up-to-date. 1t
is an outburst of fun and frolic, a
! maelstrom of merriment. The pretty
fairy story is told in verse and by the
introduction of thirty musical mum bers
of great beauty and melody.
Every performance is given with
elaborate special costuming, and is
under the direction of skilled stage
manager. No pains or money have
been spared to make the engagement
in this city creditable one. To say
that the attendance will be the largest
ever given home talent production
is putting it mildly.
The Sheboygan Daily Journal says,
in part: The like of the The Pixies
entertainment has never before been
seen in our city. The cOstuming is
elaborate, the tableaux beautiful, and
the chOruses melodious." The Tele-
gram of the same date says: Indeed
there was nothing about the perform
ance that wasn't simply superb"
The above are merely two of the
many Communications which The
Pixies" are in the habit of getting.
To say that a great deal of work
has been required to get this enter
tainmentup to its splendid form would
be putting it lightly, and the ladies
are deserving Of what they are going
to have-a magnificent house.
