cided success In every way--costumes,
music and performers. Mr.. l.. !. Cor.

cleverest and most original young man
in local amateur theatricals, and muen
Of the credit should so to him. The
iGea was his originally; he it was who
originated the dances and who de-
signed the costumes and scenery
Also. he has worked diligently at all
tie rehearsals, not only doing his own
part but teaching all the dances pc
sides. Ii is hard to decide just when

excellent. Mrs. Laura Lows dance Is

would indeed mourn over the loss OF
four such lovely creatures Their cos

Fruits and Flowers is carried Out py
two groups of young women, VINO

the heart of any downcast ruler. The
flash and Interchange of color is par
ticularIy lovely. The Understanding

attractive. The scenery and costumes,

appropriate.
