HeartIest Of Thanks Rendered All Who Assisted in the Success by the Ladies of the Morrison Avenue Or, phanage

1 success in every phase of the word
 surrounded the splendid performance | at the Princess Tleater last evening | where two shows were given of saei-
 ety vaudeville and circus acts for the
 benefit of the orphanage on Morrison
 avenue, Where now 35 little waifs of | the world are assured better surround
 Ine5 during the coming winter than 1 anything less than the receipts of
 this work would have given tn m.
 When Hot Springs responds in ear
 nest to such a call sle responds unan-
 imously At least il seemed so. for | hardly had the tickets been placed
 on sale than there was a crush for | them and then came the matter of
 the second show which was also lb-
 erally attended.
 The performance was under the di. recton of Mir. Frank Head. and it
 was splendidly handled. What had at | first been arranged for a full evening
 performance was, because of the crush Of business, dissolved into two per lormances, and they both went well.
 Miss Juanita Gillian and Louise Homer opened the bill with vocal 1 numbers, and later appeared in a quartettc composcd d of Misses Homer.
 Gillian, Bessie shrimp in and Ellen | Anderson Misses Anderson and shiimplin also appeared in vocal num- bers. The three numbers of these young ladies made up proved most classy and were lberally encored. Misses Bonnie Lemly of this city and
 Mary Halliburton of Little Rock, beth famed for their terpschorean perfec- l ton, gave classic dances of their own interpretation, and then appear
 ed in duo dance which was most artistica ly arranged.
 The clowns of the Barnum and Bailey circus hera who contributed to
 the benefit so enthusiastically and made up so much of the bill, can not receive half truth of the appreciation | expressed by all for their kindly in terest. They entered into the spirit of this thing of helping out the or phanage just as they felt the obliga- tlon of shedding little feet and C Othing little children and providing warmth and comforts was a part of their obligation, and the measure of
 the success they contributed to this performance can hardly be estimated Joseph and Jerome, talking come dians, opened their part of the work in neat stunt that suggested any thing but the sawdust ring. Hank Peare put on his pantomme tramp act in most pleasing manner Geor- gett and Victoria, the Upside Down"
 boys of the clown ring had a splendid feature act and they offered it in their most complete fashion And in the closing act Fun at the Circus" the boys staged some novelty stuff that caught the house. In this latter act there appeared Hank Pearce, Howard Williams, Toby Thomas. Walter Beat ty Charles Romig, and Joseph and Jerome.
 Frederick Burton, one of the pio- necrs of stagecraft, who had volun- teered his services. but who is in broken hea tn here, was unable to ap- pear, but his heart was in the right place for had he been able he would nave appeared in the performance.
 Eddie Arlington of the 10l Ranch show, who is nere, yesterday decided that these kiddies of the orphanage must have some fun as they grow up, and he rendered to Mrs. Maurice a free for nothin ticket to the whole of the orphanage for one of the after noon performances of that show in this city next week And this admis- sion to the kids does not stop there for they will be the guests of Mir. Arlington. and will have something of red lemonade and other things that go with the child's dreams of real afternoon at the circus
