Lighted the Stage.

Tt was an exquisite bit of fairyland
that delighted an audience of $50 gath
cred to see nThe Gooseherd and the
Goblinso on the w. W. Vincent lawn,
721 Prairie avenue, Tuesday night.
The setting left nothing to be de-
sired for the presentation of the charm
ing little fantasy. The great moon
hung low overhead; the broad lawn
with it's trees and foliage lent film Of
mystery; the air was of the delicious
summer warmth that might be expected
to tempt fairies out of their day re-
treats to dance in the shadows; and Mr..
Vincent who is a dilettante electrician
had taken up the stage lighting prob
lem for his own amusement and to the
qualification of the scene.
He arranged a spotlight in an upper
balcony so that it could be played upon
the fairies in just the right manner to
heighten the effect of elfshness. He
had also strung lights in the trees in
tensifying the shadows and high lights.
Tinsel Sets Limits.
The stage was designated by ropes of
glittering tinsel hung from tree to tree
and the dressing rooms were the deep
shadows from which the players ap-
peared as if by fairy spell, out of the
unseen into the seen.
When all was in readiness a classic
dance was played on Victrola, spot

darling little red fairy, all fluffy and
sparkling just the way real fairy
should be. She danced prettily and was
rewarded with an encore. She was

Then little Gladys Palmer appeared
as sprightly Ariel and gave as a pro-

She had hardly disappeared when
two mortals appeared, one the goose
herd (Teddy Gottlieb) and the goose
herd s mother, (Ethel McCall) old and
bowed, bundle Of fagots in her hand,
a long gray cloak over her shoulders.
A dialogue ensues in which the young
gooseherd expresses a wish that he
were the miser of the village who
boards his gold, and tells what he would
do for his mother if he were.
COLLINS Appear.
The mother hobbies off stage and
Teddy begins to rub his eyes and grow
sleepy. Sleep draws his eyelids togeth-
er just one instant and when he looks
again, there are three brownielike COB
Inns staring straight at him. Teddy was
heart and soul in his part from that
instant.
Teddy Sensation.
His reading was clear and distinct.
He had thorough grasp of his part.
His technique, unframed though it is,
showed force and originality. In his
somewhat impassioned reading Of the
lines recounting his love for his mother
and his wish to be transformed again to
his former self and get back to her,
Teddy created the mild sensation which
the discovery by an audience of inner
ent artistic ability is certain to bring
