It is impossible to forbear a few words of praise to the pretty girls of the Brighani Imjiroveiuent Association, Asso-ciation, and their highly capable president, Minnie J. Snow, for the ellicient manner in which they entertained their friends and admirers ad-mirers on the afternoon and evenings even-ings of 2('th and 27th at the opera house. The program was an exceedingly ex-ceedingly interesting one, the Anvil Chorus, by sixty children, proving especially line. Mrs. Kay Evans recited with deep feeling, "The Maniac," her beautiful hair that almost swept the stage in its uncoufined slate, exciting univers 1 admiral ion. A comic character duet by Misses Venna Nichols and Mahle Snow was very pretty. Misses Amelia Graehl and Minta Pett skillfully rendered a duet on the piano, after which the sweetly melancholy 'strains of the "Mitlle-toe "Mitlle-toe Bough" lloated over the house, though Ihe singer, Mrs. Mattie Ensign, En-sign, was not visible. At the close of each verse, tableaux, arranged bv .Mary 'Nelson, vividly representing! the whole sad t-tory, were shown, j 'The old woman who liveJ in a j shoe.'Mblloweil, under the tableau , tire, with her numerous progeny, j A quartette by Minnie Snow, lhittie ; Nichols, Frank Kishbiiru and Kred j Petersen closed parL 1st. of the pro- i gram. i The charming little extravaganza, i "Sleeping Heauty," with its dashy, j catchy music, now opened with all I the eclat of a royal scene. M. Ensign En-sign as 1 1 is .Majesty" was all, that could lie desired, while Miss Teniae Snow personated "Her .Highness" in true qme.ily fashion in her elaborate regal robe. J. Nichols looked every inch Uie dignified dig-nified chivalrous Lord Chancellor, and the Huehess was ably sustained sustain-ed by Hannah Kottt r in an eh-gnnt ashes of rose satin richly draped with lure. Miss Vcarsley. Miss Hiek, the cook, butler and pages nf ! the roval court all deserve credit- I able mention, l'liena Madden as Nurse" of the little Princess was nature itself. Mrs. Lottie Cozier : made a charming Prince with an easy, nonchah-ut carriage, and a voice that thrilled every listenei ! with its pathos in the solo, " Dieampt I Dwelt in Marble Halls."
