White Bird Gave Young People a Royal
- Reception and Welcome.
Especial Correspondence J

AtWOOu, as brlRntOn EarIy, tne groom,
and Miss Myrtle Fuller, as Miss Amy
Lee, the bride, were indeed favorites
with the audience, and their matrimon-
ial troubles were followed with intense
interest, especially the closing scene.
Dennis Howard, who filled the part of
Billy jackson, the heart breaker, was
very much at home. He was in trouble
some waters at one time with the ac-
ceptance of three proposals hanging
quite heavy on his hands, but very
neatly evaded all difficulties, and
found himself with the girl of his
choice sailing on smooth seas, with
visions of domestic bliss in the dis

brides maid of honor, Miss Doris Ruff.
files; was one of Billy's victims, but in
the end found herself the victorius one,
very ably took charge of the matri-
monial prize.
Miss Eunice MeEntee, as Miss
Gwendolyn Perrington-Shine, was also
made to suffer by Billy's arduous
wooing, but very gracefully accepted
her defeat.
Miss Bessie Coyne, played the part
of Mrs. Ina Kinger, tn fascinating
widow, to perfection, and certainly
made things warm for Billy, upon her
discovery of his deceit.
Homer Eimers, as Professor Spigott
and James Yates, as Little Hemachus,
his eldest son, filled side-splitting parts
and burst of merriment greeted their
every appearance upon the stage.
Miss Gladys Robinson, rs Angelina,
the angel child, won her way into the
hearts of the audience by her pert and
saucy ways. She surely was the angel
child Her singing between acts was
greatly appreciated by the audience.
Lulu, the maid, was very ably i'm
personated by Miss Florence Parsons.
She proved herself quite an ally to the
men at times.
Miss Annie Norwood, very creditably
played the part of Mrs Pennington.
Shine, the naughty chaperone and the
scandalized mamma, and certainly
routed Billy Jockson from the scene OF
action.
Miss Mae Lanningham, as Dodo De
+ Graft, the actress, proved to be stun

Foster, as Dun, the burglar, who. later
