Some exquisite pictures were pre-
sented by five very clever and beau
tiful girls from the Cleveland high
school, under the direction of Amy
Tollefson. The work showed not only
great natural aptitude, but an adequate
conception of the idea to be portrayed
"A Frieze" was given first, followed
chantes," 'Niobe" and "Orpheus and
Eurydice."
The tableau, "The Little Ones at
Home was given by large group
of little things about to give up their
play for the night and was effectively
accompanied by the singing of Incl
dental music by considerable chorus
OF larger girls. The tableau was ar
ranged and conducted by the Misses
Sarah p. Patton, Emma Thuet and
Mrs. ]. 3. ,Wasmus. >. - ~; -.
The next tab1eau was a hospital
scene and was followed by the God
dess OF Liberty" small but very
clever group, Miss B. Fosberg being
the goddess and Masters c. w. Bas-
com and R. Hawkins representing the
army and navy, respectively.
Then came the great picture of the
evening, the ''Trooping of the Colors,'
in which nearly. all of the children
took some part The scheme was the
grouping around the statues of Co.
lumbia, Brittania and Germania, taken
by the Misses Fosberg, M. Rowe and
Lenora Comnick, respectively, of boys
and girls representing the various arms
of these nations and others.
There entered first Columbia, with
her attendants and train, to the sing
Ocean," then came Brittania, with her
attendants, and it was at this time
that the chorus of God Save the
Queen" was sung so effectively; then
came Master Merits Jeffrey, and in
Irish character costume sang "The
Minstrel Boy" and sang it well; a
Scotch bagpiper followed, and there
came in his train a couple of small
Highlanders in costume, who marched
about the stage and created much en-
thusiasm by their sturdy tramping to
the tune of Marching Through Geor-
gia" on the pipes-an unwonted meth
cd of playing the well known song.
Germania came in with a well drilled
squad Of followers, the children in the
train grouping and singing die Wacht
am Rhein." Among the cleverest
things in the lot was a group of girls
in French Zouave costume, carrying
the tricOlor and singing the "Marseil-
laise" with such applause as showed
that the ancient friendship between
the two republics was still in the
hearts of the American people at least
A band Of typical Scandinavians fol-
lowed. They had been drilled by Miss
Lennon and sang the national anthem
of their land to much applause. Then
came on a company Of little girls car
rying American and Cuban flags, who
gave a very pretty drill, and finally
the group was completed by the vet
Grams of Acker post marching into the
hall to tremendous applause, the great
chorus singing rally Round the
Flag" the while. In front of the vet
Grams were grouped the girls of Miss
Slotterbec's class. who covered them
with garlands and the closing scene
was one of real beauty
