The spectacular production, "The
Kirmess" given at the Opera House
last Thursday and Saturday nights
was a pronounced success, and was
without doubt the most wonderful
performance ever given on the local
stage. There were upwards Of nine
ty people in the cast and it would be
impossible to give a comprehensive
description of the various numbers.
The intricate steps of the various
dances were revelation to the
audience, and reflect great credit on
Mrs. Higgs the instructor, and also
on the individuals who executed them
with such precision and skill. The
attendance was not as large as the
production merited, due probably to
the fact that very few people knew
what "The Kirmess" really was.
