SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.
(Continued from page 7)
Scarcely a seat was left vacant In Ly
ceum hall, friends of the school and pa
rents of the children turning out by the
score to listen to the laudable efforts of
the youngsters in their desire to commem
orate the birthday of the father of his
country.
The piano was exercised by Misses Mc
Laughlin, Barton, Burns, Tanny, Hogan,
Costella, Ward. Hilton. Dolan and Ly
man. -A notable musical number was
The Barber of Savllle." which Misses
Weckbach. Barton, McGlnley and Hogan
rendered with the proper spirited Inter
pretation. When the curtain went up on a group
of about thirty bright costumed little
fairies with laughing faces and sparkling
eyes, the audience went wild, and with
good cause When the baby witches had
sung their little song and scampered off
the stage, they were demanded again so
vociferously that they scampered back
and sang their little song all over again.
"St. Theresa's Dudes," as announced on
the program, caused considerable won
derment, and when a row of twenty-five
Infantile NugentB and Newmans marched
upon the stage, dressed to kill with their
white ducks and stove-pipe hats and
canes, they created a perfect blizzard of
applause. They were recalled amid the
enthusiastic plaudits of the "grown ups"
and the derisive whistles of the small boys
who had been left out in the procession.
The state of perfection Into which the
little ones of the school are drilled ap
peals to an outsider as something mar
vellous. The main feature of the entertainment
was "Jephthah and His Daughter," a
dramatic cantata In two acts. The com
pany Includes a strong cast of thirteen
characters, besides a whole stage full of
maidens, soldiers and supers. The per
formance went off without a break, some
of the actors showing unusual merit for
histrionic aspirants of their age. Their
voices were well trained, and the cos
tumes were especially worthy of mention.
The parts were taken as follows:
Jephthah. J. Hickey: Klon, G. Saunders;
Prophet. A. Reed; Ibsan. J. Leahy: Ar
nold. W. O'Donnell; Eloni, R. Reed; camp
