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."
