Despite the rain, everybody turned
out Wednesday evening to see those be-
loved friends of our childhood, Cinderel-
la, the Prince, the Proud Sisters, the
Fairy Godmother, the King and Queen,
the Heralds and the Court Ladies and
Gentlemen; and everybody lived charm
ing childhood over again for the space
of time that the little cinder girl and
her friends in their gay costumes walked
out of the fine old fairy tale and were
before our eyes, just as in years gone by
these same characters were real in our
limaginations. We saw them all and
heard them speak; and better yet, we
saw them through the eyes of childhood
Through the eyes of the child actors
themselves, for "be it known" this was
not a play, it was an Interpretation by
the children themselves; 1t was the
lcbild's own idea of the old fairy tale; no
lines had been written for them, they were
left to interpret the story as it appealed
to each of them, and that they did in 8
charming manner no one present will at
tempt to deny. Much credit must be
given each and every one of them, ano
still more to Mrs. Carter who conceived
the idea and carried 1t to most success
full conclusion.
The rain held off long enough to allow
the tennis tournament 10 be played or
