 A beautiful success was the ntuo folk production of Cinderella in Floweriand at McDonalds Opera House last evening given for the bene- fit of the Young Womans Christian Association. The little ones played to full house and charmed the audience from beginning to end with the splendid rendition of the story of Cinderella's s trials and triumphs told among the flowers.
 Every attention was paid to scenic effect which, combined with the per- feet training of the children in their various parts, resulted in a perform ance which was quite professional In is style, and which was enjoyed from beginning to end by the large repre- sentative and deeply interested audi ence.
 There were special dances done by the various blossoms who formed the characters in the pretty story of Cin- derella-
 Miss Ethel Sykes who was Nature, the Godmother in the story, opened the performance with beautifully exc cuted dance. Mises Ruth and Bernie Loeb, two of the bewitching butter flies who drew the chariot in which Cinderella was driven to the ball of Prince Sunshine, did several dances and some song dances. The other two butterflies were Misses Margaret Preiss and Olivia Dove, who were ex- quisite1y dainty.
 Mises Viola Roche and Mary Ellen Harvey whc took the part of the two proud sisters in the story as Holly heck and Tiger Lily did some especial ly fine dancing. As did also Miss Erma woImer who was heroine of the play Cinderella, the daisy and who was all in her pretty costume brought about by a wave of the Godmother's s wand that any rrincely heart could desire.
 Master Stanton Hertz was an ideal Prince Sunshine and in his fine read ing of the part and his ideal dazzling sunshine costume with his retinue of sunbeams was a prince to win the heart of any little maiden.
 Miss Margaret Clyne as the Bonnie Bee who drove the four butterflies to Cinderella's chariot filled well her part in the story as did Master S. Pat terson in his part of Robin Red Breast, the Princes Herald.
 The rainbow march was an espe- ciaIly beautiful feature and was led by two tiny folk in a most grown-up manner. They were Misses Lela Mc- Guire and Master Baldwin Harvey and the perfection of their tactics would put a veteran to shame.
 Two very much enjoyed features were the songs and dances of the sum- beams and of the rain drops who chased them away. In these the cos tuning was so speaking perfect, so true that no explanation was needed.
 The forget me nots were in their drill. song and dance very attractive. They were: Irene Taylor, Margaret May. Lela McGuire and Mary Pruett.
 The entire performance was one of the prettiest amateur children's that has ever been seen in Montgomery and to the ladies who worked to get it up for the beneft of the Y. W. c. A.. the large audience who gathered to wit ness 1t are indebted for most de- lightfuI entertainment.
