CHILDREN GIVE MIKADO
 IN SPLENDID SHAPE

The performance of 'srhe Mikado" given by the children at the Jefferson last night was a success in every way. The thea Ire was crowded with the friends of the performers and a handsome sum was realized for the free kindergartens of the city and of Temple Emanuel for whose benefit the entertainment was given.
 Few comic operas have been more suc- cessful than "The Mikado.' Its artistic costumes and catchy airs make 1t a perennial favorite, and in the hands of the young people last night 1t lost none of its effectiveness.
 Miss Aurelia Sewall, who has delighted many audiences, has never appeared to better advantage than in her admirable portrayal of the role of Katisha. Gladys Barkham as Yum-Yum was charming, and she and George Harris, Jr, as Nanki Poo made an ideal pair of lovers Cecil Weakley as Pooh Bah filled a difficult role well. and Arthur Chairsells Ko-Ko was excellent He sings well and is clever mimic. Carl Oldham as the Mikado and Harry Satterneld as Pish-Tush both kept the audience entertained. The three
 
 girls chorus and the boys chorus both sang exceedingly well.
 Much of the credit for last nights per formance Is due to MT. Kendall Weston, who has devoted much time and care to training the actors and Miss Lottie Golf fin, the accompanist, has contributed in a large degree to It's success.
