Gus, punctuated with numerous snap
by musical numbers, given dash and
a swing by the presence of captivat-
ing choruses. The musical numbers
were of unusual excellence and were
well done by the principals and
chorus. The chorus of Indian Maid
ems was thrilling and beautifully rem
dered, chorus of Warriors could not be
surpassed, chorus of Little Braves
made decided hit, chorus of Papooses
received repeated applause and was
the most attractive feature of the
evening, the chorus of Indian girls in
the feather dance was also very good
Mr.. E. G. O'Ferrall in his splendid
portrayal of Powhatan displayed much
grace and histrionic ability and thrill
ed the audience with wonderful admi-
ration. Mrs. Moore in the role of Poca-
