parochial school. Before tho doors
opened every seat was sold, and in a
short while even standing room was at
a premium. The decision arrived at on
Monday, to give but one performance,
had the effect of bringing many there
who had been waiting to attend the eX-
pected reproduction, and in conSe-
qence the large building was uncom-
fortably filled, as people insisted on
getting in after all available space was
occupied.
Tho interior of the house and the
stage were prettily decorated with the
national and Cuban colors and potted
plants, and the program was completed
without hitch or interruption Of any
kind. The work of this large number Of
scholars, from both the musical and
general departments, gave evidence of
the same careful training by the Sisters
of Mercy that has been so noticeable in
previous entertainments.
Each number on the lengthy program
had something pleasing about it, Among
those which the audience appeared to
particularly enjoy were the dancing girls
and the singing of the 'Star-Spangled
Banner" by forty little ones, accompany
ing it with DelSartean movements.
The Grand Baby Show" also came iu
for much favorable comment.
The Story of Cuba" as told in allie
CORY in three acts, was followed intently
by the audience, and the victory of that
oppressed land, gained through the in
tercession of humanity's powerful friend,
America" was welcomed with such
plaudits as to leave no room to doubt
the patriotism of that audience. The
drill of the Keystone Cadets, represent
ing the boys in blue, was creditable
exhibition of military movements and
reused the spirit of the spectators to the
highest possible pitch.
