1T GROWS IN POPULARITY
4 LARGE AND BRILLIANT AUDIENCE
AT ToMLINsON HALL.
The Rendition of "Pinafore" Appreci-

sOnal and Society Notes.

a large and brilliant audience assembled
at Tomlinson Hall last night to patronize
the Flower Mission naval fair and to see
the second performance of the opera III.
VI. S. Pinafore." The performance was al
together more favorable than on the first
evening. The chorus was more familiar
with it's work and there was more vim and
life to the acting. The entrance of Little
Buttercup and Josephine, and of Sir Joseph
Porter, and Mary Hord as Hebe, and Ralph
Rackstraw, was greeted with loud applause,
and they were recalled frequently during
the performance. The voices were louder
last night and there was no difficulty in
hearing distinctly in the rear of the hall.
There was some complaint throughout the
hall that the women did not remove their
hats, thereby preventing those back Of them
from seeing, and 1t is the request OF the
management that the hats be removed this
evening. Emmett Rose as the Silent Marine
attracted attention, and ne struts about the
stage in the wake of Sir Joseph like thor
ough Engllshman. The little middies,
James Sicgel and George Kline, are con-
scientous little fellows and keep on the
move during the entire performance ire IRE,
glasses or shading their eyes with their
hands TO see what is ahead. Altogether
the performance last night was a credit
TO Mrs Brush, and the appreciation of the
audience repaid her for the labor she mas
had with the organization OF the chorus
and, in fact the training OF the entire caste.
