ton.
Second-It is the duty of the trial court to
apply the law in its instructions to the essen
tial facts of the evidence in q practical and
concrete form, and if errs in this respect,

Third-Correct statements of abstract
propositions by trial court must be con-

THE OPPORTUNITY CAME
Two Chorus Girls Equal to Al
Emergency.

Emergency.
The opportunity which always comes to
those who wait came to Miss Anna Hick-
ish, chorus girl in the Alice Nielsen
company, at the matinee performance of
The Fortune Teller in St. Paul. An
hour before the performance, Miss Nielsen
sent word to the theater that she was in
disposed and would not sing This gave
Miss Hickish her opportunity. Although
she had never sang the double role of
Musette and Irma, she had listened to it
hundred times when Miss Nielsen was
singing her way tc fame and fortune. She
Immediately assumed the proper costume
and went on with the confidence that
youth and ambition inspires. She sang
beautifully, and hundreds of people in the
audience did not know but they were lis
tening to the famous prima donna, Alice
Nielsen.
Another opportunity was taken advant-
age of by Miss May Boley, chorus girl
with determination to get on in the
world. Miss Boley filled the part Of
Mile. Pompon during the second act, ow-
ing to the sudden indisposition of Viola
Gillette Miss Boley, clad in her chorus
gown, sang the music allotted to Pompon
without a hitch, and won repeated encores
by her charming, unaffected manner.
