Fairies Bring Rounds Of Applause
Candy-Fancy Work Sale Is S27.
A large and appreciative audience
greeted Santa Claus and Star
Queen" the Christmas entertain-
ment given by the Hawthorne school
at the high school gymnasium Sat
urday evening. The total receipts,
which includes s27 taken in at the
candy and fancy work booth,
amounted to approximately 5000.
The net profits will apply on the
purchase price OF the Hawthorne
school piano, which has been found
a great help and pleasure to pupils
and teachers alike.
The entertainment was a very
happy affair, being thoroughly en-
joyed by all concerted. The audi
ence was deeply appreciative and
the Parent Teachers association un-
dor whose auspices the play was
given, is well pleased with the sue
cess OF the enterprise. Credit is
given to Miss Myers and her faith
full corps OF teachers, who worked
assiduously in training the children
who played their parts remarkably
we'll The hearty cooperation OF the
parents was also appreciated. A
new departure from past custom
was the non-issuance OF compliment
AIRY tickets, even the children who
took part paying a small admission
fee. This was not considered an in
justice, inasmuch as a place on the
program was a coveted honor.
The theme of the entertainment
was timely and in keeping with the
season, dealing entirely with Christ
mas and the spirit Of love and gener-
oslty which anlmates all hearts at
the approach OF Christmas. The
play brought out most forcibly the
thought that people should, at this
season, think chiefly about making
others happy, especially those less
fortunate than themselves.
Those in the audience who did not
believe in fairies were surely con
yinced of the reality of those de-
lightful play creatures, who seemed
10 be made of dream stuff, with
their gauzy wings and filmy frocks,
but were really flesh and blood. The
Brownies were "just too cute for
anything" and the Teddy bears and
other life-size TOYS created much
merriment. Several numbers were
cncored, the singing of little Harold
GeBauer being considered unusually
sweet and musical. Several pleas
ing numbers by the high school or
chestra added to the pleasure OF the
entertainment. The duet by the lit
lie girls in blue who stepped out of
Rose Brothers mammoth bon bon
boxes also made a decided hit.
