Surely tho kiddles hao had their own
little times this week! "With two
performances of "Peter Pan" and yes
terday's tableaux at ,tho Bollovuo-Strnt-ford,
they have booh busier than their
mothers and fathers In the full tush of
tho boclal season.
Thcto weio ho many of them on
Thursday afternoon at tho Uroad Street
Theatre and they did all believe so much
In fairies when Peter begged them to
eavo Dlnklo tJell's life and you know
her light was going out so awfully fast!
It was Just terrible for a minute for fear
they would not wavo their handkerchiefs
and clap their hands quick enough to
Bavo her life. But they did, bless you;
yes, nnd Dlnkle Pell tinkled Just as
hard as slio could.
Ono llttlo volco piped out when tho
big flerco Pirate Hook appeared, "What
Is ho going to do?" nnd then when tho
llttlo boys, "Nibs" nnd "Slightly Soiled"
nnd "Tootles" (Tootles who shot Wendy,
"you know poor Tootles, ho was so
glad when ho found she wns alive, and
ho was so enthusiastic and first in the
singing and first in killing tho phntes
well, whon thoy all Bhoutcd "Hooray!
Hooray!" thero was ono weeny voice
down In front which echoed tho "lion-
rays" with great strength and gusto.
But tho worst of all was when tho
father picked up his saucer of food. It
was so tllty, you know, and he wouldn't
bo careful, and so tho small person In
'a box got muchly upset and lcmnrkcd,
'"But he'll spill It; oh! ho'll spill it!" and
whon tho curtain finally went down on
'tho llttlo fireflies nnd Peter, darling
Peter, sitting nt his little houso door
playing on his llttlo plpo nnd waving his
. handkerchief, I nctually thought tho lit
tle hands would never stop waving and
thero wero so many cuteys thero. Tho
two teeny Hngen children wero with
their father and mother; Annctto and
Henry Nowhall with Mrs. Nowhnll, nnd
Arthur Baugh's two llttlo girls with
their mother they had such sweet pink
smocked frocks on. Then small Faith
Bowers was with her father and Mrs.
Stacy Lloyd had her children with her.
The bost part of It was tho children were
not the only ones who loved It all. Even
tho daddies woro crying when Peter said
"Mother" and tho mother did not hear
his llttlo volco. Well, we aro nothing
but grown-up children, after all, even if
it Is a hackneyed saying.
Tho Would-Bc-Good Players of Miss
Irwin's School will appear tonight in
i"As You Llko It" at tho Bcllevue-Strat-ford.
Thoso of us who havo seen theso
young persons in previous performances
are enthusiastic about them, for they
do show deciddd talent and deservo tho
greatest credit. The proceeds aro to go
to the French orphans. Everything is
for charity now, and If only tho charity
is1 reflpcted In our hearts and dally lives,
how much good will he brought out of
the horrible struggle in Europo after all.
