THE CANTATA at the close of the program, given by tho small girls and bojs, was a most pleasant feature of the evening. Tho musicwas lather tuneful, the costumes pretty, the acting excellent for children, and then tho heart of cveiy one In the audience was with the little people. Parents of the youngsters young-sters were theie, as well as hundreds of friends and their prldo knew no bounds. The little queen, Hattle Lavvson, stiutted around and stamped her foot with all tho majesty of the real aitlclo and In a pink arrangement fashioned by the queen's own tailor looked as pretty and charming as one naturally expects queens to look, especially fairy queens. Shu sang very nicely and cairlcd oil the occasion In a truly lojal vvaj'. The Huntsman who must needs make love to the fairy queen was no other than Edwin Smith, and he did his part so nicely and mado such a pleasing plctuie that othtis than the queen must havo fallen Inlovo with him The Gnomes, a band of little busj-bodles busj-bodles that was alwajs up to bad tiicks when tho queen was not aiound, presented a very comical appearance. Biriw n bodies and horns, and painted faccacovcied with smiles of the wagon-wheel vaiicty made the little fellows look like creatures foreign tothlsspheie,andthIs,coupled with grotesque actions, made them a very prominent featuic ofthecuh-tata. ofthecuh-tata. . The little Elves, though, weie just the daintiest, most fairy-like little creatines, that one would caie to see. They presented a light and ahy up-pcaiance, up-pcaiance, all Mowers, fiollc, fun and music and disported themselves as little Elves should, although they would insist on worrying the good old Dame who alwajs gave them cakes and goodies, The old Dame was characterized char-acterized by Delia Morrell and she did It splendidly. Tho two vagabonds, Fiank Baugh and Wesley Anderson starred In a duet that was truly enjoyable. The voices, sweet and clear, were In perfect per-fect harmony, and at the close of that portion of their parts they were accorded ac-corded hearty applause. The entire production was a credit to the little people who took part, and to those who had the affair in hand. CAST OK CHAHACTKIIS was as follows. Queen, Hattle Lavvson. Lavv-son.
