beautiful Interpretation, perfectly
rendered, and it Is such fiawless por-
trayals as this that lift Capital City
shows out of the mediocre amateur
class and makes of them something
of high order and quality Harry E.
Farnham and the versatile William
Alberts in their speciality, Scene in
| Music Shop" were an entertainment
in themselves. Indeed there were
many who expressed themselves as
believing this little skit to be equal
to many and superior to some acts
| on "big time" vaudeville today.
Most of the personnel of the sup
! porting cast and the various dancing
and singing groups have been listed
in the advance stories of this pro-
duction. others will be listed tomor-
| row. Each and everyone in any way
| connected with "Springtime" deserves
credit. The members of the Com
| mittees. and of the cast, and the re-
| hearsal pianist, Miss Christine Carey,
all. have worked hard for tho success
of this entertainment which is al
ready assured. The orchestra ac-
compartment was by the Three
i O'clock Orchestra.

party, patrons and patronesses.
