KIRMRSS OPENS TOMORROW
LAST DRESS REHEARSAL TO BE
HELD TO-NIGHT.

List of Daaces and Full Programme.
All of the arrangements have now
been completed for the Kirmess, which
opens tomorrow night, the proceeds Of
which will go to the Hope and Leila
Day Nurseries. A full dress rehearsal
will be given this evening and this will
end the rehearsing. The armory will
be fitted with 1900 seats, all that it can
hold, and from the sale of seats it looks
as though this number will not be suf1i-
cient.
The Kirmess will be given at the Sec
ond regiment armory, beginning to-
morrow night and continuing through
out the remainder of the week, with
matinees each afternoon beginning on
Wednesday.
On the opening evening the entire
programme will be given, and the only
evening on which all the adult dances
can be witnessed.
Each set of dancers engages for four
evenings, the other evening reserved,
that they may see the dances and do
the Kirmess themselves, unfettered by
having to take part. ST..
For this reason those who desire to
see the entire ten dances given at one
time will do well to attend the opening
night. Ill
Ice cream will be on tap from two
o'clock each afternoon until ten O'clock
at night.
