The Primary Department OF Freder.
icksburg College gave Mother GOose
Festival at Study Hall Friday night to
q large audience, q majority OF which
were children, parents and patrons oi
the college Ii was unique and the per-
sonatiOn OF characters was fine. Too
much credit cannot be given Miss Nir-
ginia Lee Patteson, who has charge OF
this department, and Miss hyde. who
drilled the chorus. { was decidedly the
best entertainment of this department in
the pact two years and carried one back
to the entertainments given by Miss
Higgins when she had this department
of college The costumes OF all were
we'll suited to the characters. Ia the
whole cast there was no member over
twelve years old. Little Frances Harrell
was an attractive Mother Goose. Proba-
bly, the best representation was King
Cole, Harold Tinsley, with his pages and
fiddlers. Marjorie Franklin is Mother
Hubbard, giving her poor dog a bone,
was especially good. One OF the most
amusing representations was Leslie
Thornton as Peter, Pumpkin Eater, and
Robbie Fulton, his wife. There was
vociierous applause when he put his
wife in the pumpkin. Caspar Wood
bridge as Humpty Dumpty, iell so hard
from his perch on the wall that fears OF
broken limb were entertained. The
most expressive costume was that OF
Jeanette Stoiiregen, wife OF Hugh Gun
ningham, the boy that lived by himself
Another good character was Ida burIuss
a. Bo-Peep. William Wilson as Jack
Horner, armed with his big pie, sat in Il
corner and contentedly picked out the
plums, much to the amusement OF the
children. Anna HarreIl, milkmaid. and
Walter Roane, her escort, were good.
Charles Fulton and Annie Bruce Deane
were the Babes in the Woods. Nell
Perry elected much merriment rs Dame
Trot. Claibourne Carter as Simple
Simon. and Edwin Wilson, the Pieman,
excited much merriment. Tom Somer-
vilIe's Little Boy Blue was well done.
Louise Won Erickson made good Daffy-
Down-Dilly. Mother Goose's reception
was the finale OF anentertainment which
reflects credit on all who participated in
its presentation.
