The numbers, from 1 to 17, which constituted the program were all worthy of special men- tion, but to do so would take a great deal of time and space so we are only going to mention two in particular. The Gypsy Dream, a romantic musical play in two acts. As for the acting it was more than would ordinarly be ex- pected from mere children, but for the customs, too much con- not be said, all the handiwork of | the sisters in charge of the af- fair, the customes behind the | footlights, with their numerous colors and shades, dangling upon them ornaments of various kinds | that would have been envied by tribe, | any member of a gypsy made a very specular pressive scene. he Awakening of Spring, the other number we believe is wor- and im- thy of special mention, the cus-| toms being lovely and with rays of red and green at various intervals, ine made a beautiful scene. The receipts of the evening were approximately $170. HUSSMAN-HARTNETT.
