our failure to mention the two splen-
did performances of the princess
Bonnie" last week for the benefit OF
the fire department of Westminster

already said Of the initial performance
some weeks ago. 1t was surely mat.
ter for most favorable comment tina;
the. hall on both occasions was taxed
to It's utmost capacity with persons
most of whom had heard the opera ai
least once before. No production OF
ordinary merit could have drawn four

might say 1t Is not only fine tribute
to the performers, but is a guarantee
that future productions Of this char
acter will receive the hearty support
of our people,
