The Mystic Midgets" entertain
ment at the Opera House was IN
cluded with matinee and evening per-
formances yesterday. From a finan-
cial point of view, it was one of the
most successful home talent affairs
in a number Of years. The audiences
were large at each performance, and
there were evidences of appreciation,
which were at once a compliment to
the individual performers, and a
recognition OF talent. The entertain
ment was novel and pleasing, and the
staging and costuming were really ex-
cellent. The Third Presbyterian
church is the beneficiary of the
Mystic Midgets" entertainment, and
a handsome sum vas realized.
