Comments of Youngster at the Taber-
rac1a Amused the Audiences.

The Tabernacle, at York and Henderson
streets, was filled last night with the
sunday-school and it's friends, who at
tended the entertainment given under the
auspices of the Sunday-school. The chill
dren of the Home of the Homeless were
present, through the Kindness of some
friends.
The programme consisted of fifty NOV
ing pictures, shown by the predecessors.
They were greatly enjoyed by the little
orphans, who clapped and laughed for
over two hours at the different pictures
shown on the canvas, as well as by the
grown people. There were a great many
children present. Their comments anus
ed the audience. One moving picture
showed two little children in bed. A
burglar enters the room. This was too
sensational for one little tot, who cried
OUT
.Oh, wake up! do wake up!"
The children did wake up and routed
he burglar, to the satisfaction of the
audience.
