Miss Shreve's Carnival.


The Palace of Dreams" personally
tagged by Miss Cora f. Shreve and inter-
preted by her pupils hlled the National
rhester las; night with one of the lars
est and. doubtless, the most joyously Ell
thusiaStc audiences the theater has
known since the May dances of last year
The Palace of Dreams is located in
FARMLAND. with Fantasma. queen of mag
lc power. ip charge. In her misty drap-
cries and silver flash wand Miss Beatrice
! Cosgrove could have given beauty points
TO Iltania herself. And no Venus inside
of mythology. or out of il. could hope tc
match loneliness with Miss Adrienne
Shreve. Grimms official fairyland was
really an ordinary affair compared with
! the wonder realm created by Miss Shreve
and no Sprite out of his story book was
ever so exquisite as the tiny human bios
some in the palace" garden, some hid
den under pink-bloom parasols. some
framed in rose wreaths. some posed with
statuesque grace and all as still as flow
erS until Fantasma's wand flashed them
into motion.
The second act is beautiful earth
place-''The Cabaret'-where amazingly
clever children sing and dance by the
beamy lake beyond The third act goes
back to the " Garden of the Castle" and
the between waits are enlivened by
character dances and songs. There were,
each was grace itself. and individually en-
titled to spotlishts and printed praise. to
discriminate would be unfair-to fairies.
The prologue was given by Miss Ruby
Raymond. Princess Leila was imper-
sonated by Miss Adrienne Shreve. Eight
of the goddesses'; dance of the
cupids'' by forty tots and ballet by
the flower fairies by thirty misses were
among the ensemble numbers of the
palace scene.
The return to the palace garden and
the awakening of the Princess Leila
for the whole fairy tale was but a
dream, after all-marked a succession OF
exquisite songs and dances. The en-
trance of the king, and queen. with
their royal robes held by. dainty pages,
and the marshaling of the entire
corps of singers and dancers led to the
finale Of one of the most beautiful en-
tertainments Washington has ever
known. The costumes were gorgeous,
and, oh-the diamonds, the diamonds!
The performance will be repeated to-
night and tomorrow.
