In Little Old New York

NEW YORK, May 27.-Much
attention was attracted by the
artistic merit of the recent "all-
kid" performances of "Disraeli,"
in which the play was presented
by cast composed entirely of
child actors. But there wasn't
half as much fun-no, not a
tenth as much, as in an "all-kid"
play given a few nights ago at
one of the settlement houses.
AS for originality, there is no
comparison at all, for the latter
performance was all originality.
Several of the children attend
ing the institution wanted to give
a SHOW" They wanted to get lie
up all themselves, without any
grown-up aid. They had been
studying about Betsy Ross, who
made the first American flag, and
the show was to be about her.
Permission was granted. And this
was the drama, as presented on q
small stage in the lecture room. :
