dialogue was spoken clearly and with
excellent rendering.

The Morrice-dance was another
faithful reproduction of an old English
dance in favor before the days of
Queen Elizabeth. 1t had the slowness
and the elaborate curtsying, almost,
of the minuet, and the costumes OF
the boys and girls who took part in
1t added much to the effect of the
quaint figures.
The actors in Pyramus and Thisbe
had been capitally coached, and not
the least deserving of praise, was the
young Chinese, All 10y, who threw
himself into the part of 'Moonshine"
with great zest.
THE SPANISH DANCE.
This was a series of graceful evolu-

castlnets were lacking, in which fans
were wonderfully employed through
all the dangerous movements which
characterized it. It was especially

The success of the elaborate enter

combined efforts Of parents, teacher

The decorations, of which mention
has been made, We're supervised by Mr..
Reed and Miss Brown. But one COM
plant was made. Persons crowded
into the building reserved for specially
invited guests, and those superintend-
ing the entertainment.
A request has been made to repeat
all available parts of the program in
the Opera House within the near flu
ture, which will probably be done,
giving those an opportunity to see and
who could not do so, at the orfgi-
production.
