small, however, to be clever dancers.
The Human Laundry was a spring of
laughter for the crowds through the even

regular dancing, proved popular. In the
old band shell a continuous vaudeville,
with half a dozen good acts. attracted 4
large quota. A new bandstand was oc-

Of fifty musicians, who played through
the evening.
All of the old standard attractions, the
old mill. the carousei, the Far Rock

skating rink. the airship, the candy shops
and the fortune teller, were kept busy.

have been added to the various buildings

Age causes no apparent infirmity In
Princess Chic produced by the Aborn
Opera Company last night. Although the
performance met with several Slight OBJ
structions, on the whole it went along
merrily and is pronounced one of the
best productions of the company this sea-
son. The return of Blanche Morrison in
the role of the princess was greeted I'm an
enthusiastic manner by the audience. Miss
Morrison's singing was especially good.
For the past five weeks she has been
with Frtzi Scheff in the 'Prima Donna

The scene of the production is laid in
Burgundy. Forrest Huff taking the role
of Duke Charles the Bold. 1t is pro-
posed that an alliance be made between
Burgundy and Normandy in order to on
set the enemy, Louis X1, of France. When
about to pay VISIT 10 Duke Charies,
Princess Chic of Normandy desired to
see the former in way that would show
his devotion to the far sex without her
identity becoming known Therefore she
disguiseS herself an envoy of the Prln-
cess Chic and tells Duke Charles of the
and she again disguises as peasant girl,
whom the duke saves from planned rob-
berry. Other complications arise from the
various disguises and the duke falls in
love with Fleurette. the peasant girl. The
dukes discovery that she is the Princess
Chic brings the opera to pleasing close.
Chambertn and Pommard, stewards to
Duke Charles and the princess, played by
Jack Henderson and Thomas Van, We're
especially good in the comedy roles.
Agnes Finlay as the winsome daughter of
Chambertn, sang well. Harry Lane and
Howard Chambers. as the two staggering
soldiers of fortune, Brevet and Brabeau.

work of the chorus was quite satisfac-
