4 Grand Success.

In the successful presentation of the musical extravaganza, "Tom Thumbs Wedding" at the opera house on Tuesday night, the good la dies of the Methodist church and the large number of children who made up the cast have again won new lau- rels and covered themselves with glory in making of this entertainment such signal success.
 The children did so many things in nocently, that were quaint and laugh able that the capacity audience. which greeted the performance, was kept in an uproar of applause and merriment throughout the entire evening.
 The character of the bride was so sweetIy played by little Francis Worthington while the part of Tom Thumb, the groom, was never more ludlcrously delineated than by Master Ashley French.
 Other principals in the cast who de- serve special mention were little Miss Mildred Cargill, maid Of honor, with Charles Sweet Haven III, appeared Tn the role of best man. The char acters of the brides parents were faithfully portrayed by little Mamie Wilkinson, as the bride mother. and Master Robt. Webb, the father.
 The groom's parents were little Elizabeth Sweet, of Widener, and Master John l.. JelkS
 Nearly all the children pulled off little stunts from time to time that kept the laughter going and the fun niest part of it all, the children on the stage seemed to take just as much interest in the play, as did the audi ence.
 Among those who contributed song hits were Master William Webb, who sang, When You and 1 Were Young Maggie
 Master Sydney Dillon sang Silver Threads Among the Gold,n while | Young Richard Dillon also contribu- ted a pretty solo entitled, "T'd Like [ to Live In Loveland with Girl Like | You" Both these manly youngsters have splendid voices and acquitted | themselves creditably, to the delight and surprise of the audience.
 The cast was made up of forty hap py and beautiful children and it would be impossible to depict the many features that should be men, tioned in detail in this writeup The Times congratulates all concerned upon the splendid reception and the unqualified success of Tom Thumbs Wedding" in Forrest City
