kARNlvAL-kiRMEss A SUCCESS.

The karniyal-Kirmess given at the
opera house Monday evening under
the auspices of the NJ f. church, was
a very pleasing success and one of
the best home talent affairs ever put
on in the city. The attendance was
unusually large, and the applause Civ
en- the different acts was spontaneous
and liberal. The program Of the
karnival-kirmess consisted of stage
pictures, character songs, character
scenes, pantomines and tableaux rep
resenting the business houses of the
city, and each act was very cleverly
put on. The conclusion of the pro.
gram was a grand march by all of the
characters.
The program was opened by very
pretty drill and song by chorus of
forty little girls who took their part
of the evenings entertainment in ex-
cellent shape and were literally ap-
plauded for their efforts.
Of the special features Miss Gladys
Nash as blacksmith and Miss Viola
Olson as Pocahontas were very clever.
Miss Mable Croft was q charming
Mexican girl and the role of Spanish
girl was delightfully."- taken by Miss
Ruby Williams. Mrs. Holbein and
Miss Hubbart were given liberal ap-
pause for their newsboy scene and
song, in which they represented the
Register and the Press. Miss Merna
Grover was given an encore upon her
character song, The Boy of Today"
A very clever act illustrating the ad-
vantages of the telephone, was put
on by Miss Florence Madden
