KING JoLLlTY LAST NIGHT.
Rich Costumes and Beautiful Stage
Settings Made Continuous Scene
of Splendor.


of Splendor.
Inc first performance in Brattleboro
OF the muical extravaganza, king
Jolllty,' was given in the Auditorium
before a fairsized audience last eve
ming under the direction of e. Wales
and under the auspices of the Murray
club of the Universalst church.
Ninety-four people took part in the
performance, and their rich costumes
together with the beautiful stage set
tings made a continuous scene of
splendor. The actors made the best
of poor support by the orchestra and
acquitted themselves with credit.
The opening scene was in the palace
and garden of the king, who sought
to make the life of his people one
perpetual holiday. The only black
cloud on the kings horizon was the
conspiracy of the queen and her sages
to poison the king and get control of
his dominion. In an unguarded mo-
ment the queen placed a violent poi
son in the kings glass, but the kings
life was saved by Hobeau, a loyal
subject, who perceived the queens
act and in accordance with an old
custom persuaded the king and queen
to exchange glasses.
The plot was of minor Importance,
the choruses, marches, arrangement
and blending of costumes and other
specialties furnishing the real life
of the entertainment The royal
guards march, topical quartet of sages,
gun boat scene, march of the Dandy
Cops" diminutive policemen, and
march of the ballet girls were special
ties deserving of special mention
while all of the solos were rendered
with good taste. Another perform
ance will be given this evening
