The feature of the first portion of the prorgamuie AA'as the marching of the children and the tableaux, and in the former spectacular costuming enhanced greatlv the value. The grand march of the Empire, in Avhich some thirty boys and girls took part, was a wellthought out march, and Avas carried through with a swing by tlie different characters, all portions of the Empire being represented. “Give the Dear Old Boys a Chance” Avas a striking tableau, as was “The Better Land 1 ,” given by request. “Midnight and Noon”, and “Faith, Hope and Charity,” A\ r ere also good tableaux. Master J. Remrtck contributed an amusing recitation entitled “A Kiss in School,” in a captivating manner, Avhile a song “The Love Tide”, by Miss Lois Evans, Avas greatly appreciated. Misses L. Evans and M. Prime xvere also very successful in tAvo piano duets, and the fancy dance contributed by Miss Galene Redstone and' Oliver Cooper AA’as very attractive.

Nor Avas this the only number in the series to aAvaken sympathy. “The Bolted Door,”a drama, telling of a man’s thought force, Avas also acclaimed a great success.
