Mary Finnegan. This consisted of
character songs, drills, a dramatized
story and a holiday festival In the
second part of the program an oper-
eta, "Fiorinda, or the Rose and
PEARL" the intermediate children did
themselves and their director, Miss
Martha Tyndall, mukh credit. All are
deserving of mach praise, but special
mention should be given Mildred
Godette, as Fortuna, the Fairy
Queen, who was lovely in makeup
and acting, and Marjorie Scrib-
ner as Flornda, both her action
and singing being faultless. Gavin
Maloney as Yoringal acted his part
very creditably and pleased the audi
ence with his clear soprano voice,
and Dorothy Peno, as Vala, the
Witch, also rendered her difficult part
well. Too much credit cannot be given
Mrs. Finnegan and Miss Tyndall.
