The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1912-12-14

The Temple Theater was crowded
last night with people who were de-
lighted with the performance Of the
actors in the pretty play Of snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs." The
orchestra and parquet seats were ali
filled. and it is a noticeable fact that
many colored people were in the gal
iery, particularly interested IN tae
performances Of the children.
Il The opening scene, where all the
fbiries and florist children met in honor
az Snow Whites birthday was a most
charming one. The stage was throng-
ed with pretty children who with
their dainty white dresses and gauzy
wings were as near the really, truly
aAries as mortal minds and fingers
could make them. Had anyone who
believed in the delightful fairy stories
Of the olden time met them in the
greenwood instead of on the stage, he
couldn't have helped believing he saw
the genuine little people, It was
worth far more than the admission
price to see so many of Ocalas pretty
children in a bunch.
Miss Susie Lou Ellis mades a lovely
Snow White" princess, and her superb
soprano voice was listened TO with de-
light. Mrs. Mary EagIeton made a
magnificent queen, and her beautiful
contralto thrilled her hearers. Mr.
Albert Gerig was a dashing young
king, and his excellent tenor was one
of the finest vocal features. Mr. Drake,
with his picturesque feathered cap and
jerEin of Lincoln green, his long bow
and CULVER of cloth-yard shafts, was an
nd
didly. Miss Elizabeth Bennett was
most clever in the prologue. She is
talented little miss and her appear
ances on the stage always bring APP
pIause. 1#st.

These little folks didn't always fol-
low the lines, but where they deviated,
they only added to the delight of the
audience.
Master Ted Drake and little Miss
Sara Johnson had a pretty little scene
of their own during the first act. They
\ brought down the house.
Master Harrington Hall made an
ideal Cupid, and was evidently long
ing to try his bow and arrow on some
of the boys and girls N the audience.
In the third scene, the House of tie
Seven Dwarfs, Masters Otis Green,
James Chace, James Ellis, William
Richie, Allen Holl' nrake. Bob Chace
and Norman Ives, all clever little
dwarfs, and firm friends of Snow
White. came on the stage, and carried
off their parts admirably. Masters Ted
Drake and Henry Camp were the hand
some little pages
It was a very pretty little play all
thru, and there was no intermission
in the entertainment, as the excellent
Temple orchestra and some well chos-
en- moving picture subjects filed in the
time between acts.
