FAIRY OPERETTA AT
/WOODLAWN SCHOOL.
One of the cleverest little plays of
the season was the Fairy Operetta,
given by the children of Woodlawn
kindergarten, and Miss Bertha Young’s
first grade, on Friday evening. When
the curtain went up on the first act,
a little child (who did not believe In
Santa Claus) was seen asleep in her
nursery crib, .Surrounding here were
eight dainty, little Fairies led by their
Fairy Queen (Arvls Holley) and If the
real fairyland had been searched none
daintier could have been found than
she, as she tripped along waving her
Magic Wand to call in her subjects.
After the Fairy dance the Brownies
(funny little fellows all) came tumb
ling In followed by old Santa Claus,
with bis Jingling hells. This charac
ter whh impersonated by Herbert Stan
ford. Santa, and Fairies and Brownies
decide to make the child believe In
them. How was this to lie done? Two
little farltes (Hilda Blgnon and Bessie
Scott) then tripped up and sang the
Fairy Plan:- which was to call in all
of the "Htory Book” friends to teach
the child the truth. Their voices were
clear and sweet as they sang. First
the Fairy Queen called In Cinderella,
who told of what the Fairies hnd done
for her This part was taken by Ase
natli Shivers, and Cinderella herself
could not have been ft better Prin
cess. Golden 1/icks, with her little
brown bear, came next to add her
story to convince the child. Mary
Preacher, with her golden curls and
blue eyes, was well fitted for this part.
Little Bed Killing Hood, with her bas
ket of goodies for grandmother, and
her hunch of beautiful flowers, came
next. • This part was to have been
taken by Evelyn McDaniel, but owing
to the sudden Illness of little Mera
Niary who was (The Child) that part
had (o be taken by Kvelyn. Kittle
Adele Macmurphy filled Kvelyn's pnrt
with only a few iminutes’ coaching, but
no one could have known she was only
a substitute. Sleeping Beauty was all
that could have been doHlrod. This
part was taken by Elizabeth Kaw
rence. Rose Red and Snow White, the
sisters, were dainty and winsome.
These were lona Hhaufelle and Hilda
Cosby. Beauty and the Beast, who bad
turned Into the Prince ware Indeed
i harming. They were Russel Blan
chard and Elizabeth Johnston. After
t.earing the story each bad to tell the
: Child was convinced that there Is a
real Santa, and Fairies, and Brownies,
iso Santa takes her into Fairyland
- with all her friends to have a good
I time. The Clowns came In to make
a merry time.
The next scene was in Fairyland,
mid was a thing of beauty. The wnod
lund background with the flying foot
of the happy little children hh they
played games and sang songs was
i npugh to make each "grown up" In
the audience wish to he u child again
"just for an hour."
Altogether the entertainment was a
success from ull standpoints.
