Those of us who attempted to hear
"Aida" last night know what time we
all had to get our seats Never old
zee such a very unmanageable crowd
After the second act most of the spec
tators left in disgust, and yet the per-
Torrance as a performance was well
given. though the boat did hitch a bit
going across the river and "Camden's"
sky line was to be found on the west
ern side of Philadelphia instead OF the
eastern for I heard one gay young go
ciety thing murmur to her adoring
suitor, TT looks for all the world ike
Camden" which made the surrounding
onlookers snicker.
After the first act the spectators made
o sudden attack on space, and, taxing
their chairs with them, charged forward
in spite of protests until in the dark
ness the audience on the ground looked
like many flies on fiypaper, instead of the
first idea it gave, which was, row upon
row of wellcultivated beet tops. NO
offense meant assure you. To be sure,
very few persons reached the seats
they had paid for and no one cared but
the poor victims themselves However.
the small boys who were helping the
peanut vendors enjoyed themselves inn
mensely, and when Aida was singing soul
fully after Amneris had left her. one
small boy called to the other, There's
Aldy out there a yellin' now" It's all
In the point of view, you know!
Another interesting affair which will be
given for charity will be the lawn party
to be held on the grounds of the German
town Academy, at School House lane and
Greene street, on Friday. This time it
will be the Germantown Hospital that
will benefit. Among the girls who will
act as aides at this fair will be Marion
Button, Martory Taylor. Peggy Perot.
