ATTRACTIVE FROCKING.

"JUDY JINX AND DAVID."

Thero is an Undeniable charm about a children's play, and the large audience which attended "Judy Jinx and David," which was presented at His Majesty's Theatre yesterday afternoon and evening in aid of fund's for the Wilson Home for Crippled Children at Takapuna, was delighted. The play was produced by Mrs. Zoe Bartley-Baxter, who had no 'email task in handling 6O successfully the large cast, and the ballets and solo dances were expertly arranged by Miss Cecil Hall.

The froeking of the whole play was outstandingly good. The colour schemes were beautifully worked out, every scene being one of brightness. As Judy Jinx Miss Isobel Henderson made her first appearance in a frock of briar rose muslin with a blue sash with largo bow. She later appeared in silk pyjamas of a soft blue shade. The part of Pretty Lady was played by Miss Ysolimle MeVeagh, 1 who wore a frock of deep cream chiffon with a floral design in tones of blue and rose. The Fairy Queen, resplendent in a flowing gown of a rich blue chiffon with girdle and headdress of sparkling silver, was taken by Miss Zena Ready. Miss Ailsa Hacket made a brief appearance in a lilac spring frock with enp and apron, as Tweeny, the maid. A character that impressed the children was the King or Magic. The part was taken by Mr. Harry Withers*, who wore an Oriental suit of ivory sntin with a flowing satin cape and turban. • Miss Peggy Holmes danced in a frock of moonlight blue chilTon with silver roses on the corsage. As Fairy Speech, Miss Patricia Boyle wore fiilver grey chiffon with a coronet and spray of red roses and later was in a lovely frock of silver lame with stars and a silver headdreee.

A number of tiny children were ineluded in the cast and first of all appeared as tiny white and brown rabbits. There were numerous fairies, too, whose frocks were in pastel shades, and they wore silver and gold bodices and silver wings. The final scene, staged in a garden, was a triumph of happy colour. Incidental music was supplied for the play by an orchestra under the leadership of Mrs. Eve Miller.
