Long List Of Those Who Took
Part-A Delightful Production
by the Young Folks.

Friends and supporters of the city
hospital filled Wilder Hall last night
at the initial performance of the
juvenile opperetta, alice in Wonder
land" given by the Ladies' Auxiliary
for the benefit of the institution.
Long before the curtain arose all
seats were taken and rows of people
lined the walls
The training and costuming of $50
children presents a stupendous task
but the young folks carried the OPP
peretta through without hitch and
won for themselves many encores
and no end of favorable comment.
The play follows in substance the
story of the book, with many drills,
choruses and special features.
Miss Beatrice Fels as Alice" was
an ideal impersonation of Lewis Car
rolls heroine to which so many re-
markable things befell Miss Fels
has clear mellow voice and her rem
dering of the Alice song was one
of the hits of the evening.
Cornelia LHommedieu, as Queen
of the Fairies, and her band of white
robed spangled attendents, was a
charming feature which was present.
( ed in the first scene.
I William Hornsby, as the ruler of
/ Wonderland, and Miss Lou Dunham.
as the Queen of Hearts, and their
train of courtiers won the admira-
ton of the audience by their admir-
able acting. The costumes were
gorgeous and the songs catchy and
it would be hard to determine which
chorus made the greatest hit, that or
the Freddie Girls"
The Freddie Girls.
The Freddie Girls" created
furor of admiration in their render
ing of the Freddie" song in which
they promise just to-saEe his-deilara-
to do up his shirts and collars. It
was a clever little song with just
enough action to carry the audience
away and leave an echo of the chorus
long after the curtain had been rung
down.
The costumes throughout the cast
were pretty and were rendered espec-
tally brilliant by many calcium light
effects.
