UNDER DIRECTION Of
MRS. WOOD, P|NAF0RE
PROVES BIG SUCCESS

A large and appreciative audience
greeted the players last night In
their presentation o, "Pinafore" at
Convention Hall, and any one who
failed to witness the first production
should take advantage of the oppor-
tunity tonight.
The entire cast, under the able
direction Of Mrs. n. c. Wood, de.
serve unlimited praise for the de-
lghtful evening of entertainment. and
II would be quite impossible to en-
phasizo any one member as all played
their parts most successfully and
with the grace and poise Of profes.
sional players.
Possibly the role OF little Butter
cup" taken by Mrs. Robert s. Gar
denhire provides a wider scope Of
attention, in that It was the leading
part, and includes more solo selec-
tions. Mrs. Gardenhire charmed the
audience with her beautiful voice, az
always.
The scenic effect which was the
work of Mr.. r. II. Caldwell, was
especially attractive and added much
to the effectiveness OF the play. The
orchestra, Mr.. IL. 3. Lambert, dl-
rector, also deserves special mention.
Altogether "pinafore" was a most
successful ana delightful entertain'
ment one deserving the presence and
support Of every Ardmore citizen,
and Mrs. y. G. Wood is to be con
graduated upon the decided success
Of the opera.

afternoon, and permitted the stream
TO run for 80 minutes into This well,
which is 80 feet in diameter. Tho
