'sThe Princess of Ming Raises $500
for improvements on Smith Athletic
Field and Brings Glory and Graft
tude to It's Eleven Authors-A Three
Act Comic Opera. ..@ .t@.

] A Minneapolis girl at Smith college,
Miss Florence Louise Harrison, is the
author Of three-act comic opera, ''The
Princess~ef Ming' which was given on
Nov. 4, at Smith college for the benefit
of the Allen recreation field. This field
was presented to 1.-THE college year ago
by Frank Gates Allen, Of Moline, Ill,
to be used for athletics, but it is much
in need of certain improvements before
it can be utilized. Miss Harrison, being
an athletic girl and possessed OF typical
western -s' hl1stle,' conceived the plan
of presenting a play to raise money for
the necessary improvements.
: The book was written by Miss Harri-
son herself, and the music was arranged
by Miss Katherine eager, of Columbus,
: Ohio. The opera is in three acts, the
+ scene being. laid in the imaginary king.
/ dom of Ming. The cast comprised
eighteen characters besides many court

Charlotte Gardines, Evanston, H.; Jack
Durant, lover Of the princess, Miss Ber-
tina Christensen, Greenfield, Mass. the
Queen of Ming, Miss HARRIET, Berry,
Hudson, N. Y, and the King of sMing,
Miss Hortense Mayer, Chicago:
The prettiest girls in college were
chosen for the many unique speclalt1es,
which were introduced, SUCH as fairy
dances, march of the hussars, and sew
! eral clever choruses. The audience was
| most appreciative and every speciality
! was encored. IL
An original feature Of the affair: was
! the Smith College orchestra, composed
entirely of Smith girls, and led by Miss
/ Katherine eager, musical director for
| the play. The orchestra is made UP of
/ piano. violins,s mandolins, - guitars AND
a drum. Formerly it also boastea a
cornet and a fife, but unfortunatel
both of these graduated within the last
two years.
| An original little curtain raiser in
! two scenes was given, being a parody
on ''The Case of Miss Stoner.' A gray
! fur boa was used to impersonate the
spotted. snake, and with such good effect
that several girls in the audience gave
smothered screams at it's appear :ance
The play was given in the students
building belonging to the college, aht
the house was packed to it's utmost ca
! pacity, not even standing room being
4 obtainable. It is reported that $500
1 was cleared. At the close of the per
I Torrance the audience shouted for Mis-
! Harrison and Miss eager, and upol
i their appearance, greeted them by sing
4 ing all the college songs, substituting
their names for those Of past heroes.
+ The opera proved so much Of a sue
cess both dramatically and financial,
that a second performance is contem
= plated for the benefit of those whom thu
limited capacity of the hall excluded
4 from the first performance.

Manager Lines of the Palace museum

who sings to beat: the : band.'' Mr..
Morphy had been billed to sing at the
Auditorium three nights last week. He
was also engaged for concert. at the
Peoples church, st. Paul. There may
be those who regard Mr.. Morphy s
going from the aristocratic Auditorium
to dime museum as terrible profess
sional descent. But enterprise and
money accomplish great deal in these
days of strenuous commercial effort. In
stead of having a bunch Of classical
Italians to compete with, Morphy will
have to Hsing to beat'' colored band,
which will make up in volume what
may be lacking in tone. Mr.. Morphv
will sing at both afternoon and even
ing performances, beginning this after
noon, the engagement lasting the en-
tire week. The Palace museum has
many other high-class special attrac-
tions for this week, including Olga, the
Danish contortionist; Count Lines, the
juggler, and a frst-class minstrel show
on the second floor. Ladies will be adj
mitted. free.

a mask for some other picture and on
his receiving permission he gradually
