IN THE BOOTS
Nursery Story of Childhood
Presented at the Opera
House Last Night
THE LILLIPUTIAN
WEDDING ALSO SEEN
Among the Lovely Features
Were the Scarf and
Clover Drills

The nursery stories Of our child
hood never quite lose their charm for
US, and when Col. Lee decided to
dramatic Puss in the Boots, staging
it under the name of The Prince and
the Grey Cat, he chose a very lovely
medium for the expression Of his tall
ent, and in the staging of the beauti-
full play, given at the opera house last
night, under the auspices Of the Y. W.
g. A., he showed himself possessed
Of a rare artistic sense, which was
expressed not only in the manner in
which the pretty extravaganza was
produced, but in the beautiful setting
which was given it.
Preceding the Prince and the Grey
Cat, the Lilliputian wedding was pre-
scented, and was as lovely as only a
wedding Of the tiny tots may be, the
bride, in the person Of darling Betty
Yonge, and the groom, dashing Bert
McAllister, carrying off their parts
with the utmost charm and ease.
Never was bride loveIier nor groom
handsomer, and the attendants made
up charming galaxy Of beauty.
Miss Helen Carter was very hand
some in the role of the queen, and
Miss Olga Thiesen, as The Princess,
was as beautiful as any fairy princess
well eould be. Miss Mcdonald as the
lady-in-waiting, was very charming
and sweet, and the court ladies en-
beautifully carried out their parts.
One Of the Ioveliest features OF the
entertainment was the Scarf Drill.
and the Clover Drill, too, was well
put on, and excellently presented, anc
the pretty swing girls were one Of
the special features Of this Bright en-
tertainment.
Featuring Glenna Strickland and
Hazel Lewis, the Cake Walk deserved
all the applause it received, and was
one Of the cleverest hits of the even
ing. These two little girls have app
peared in public in this act On two
other occasions, at the summer carni-
val and also at The tournament held
in November on the fair grounds
In presenting this bright play, the
Y. w. G. A. not only only furnished
the public with an evening Of much
enjoyment, but secured an attraction
which Melted a splendid sum for the
cause, which is worthy Of all encour-
agement, and those who lent their cf-
forts to the promotion Of the play de-
serve the sincere thanks Of the public.
