LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT Gleeful Spectators of All Ages Are Charmed by Pantomimes Depicting Fairy Tale. Nothing that has been revealed in the form of amateur entertainments during the past year seems to have come so near to reaching" the summit of artistic achievement as the excep- tional production of "Cinderella" which was put on by pupils of Miss Marie Gammie last night at the Hei-li- Miss Gammie's dramatization of the fascinating- fairy tale is truer to the original than most .and her ver- sion proved actable and plausible.

The two step-siste- rs were played by Louise Hatfield and Alice Freeland, both of whom are excellent dancers, and notably good as comediennes. Their airs and graces and assumed awkwardness met heartily with the approval of the audience and they perfect worthy played as foils to each other.
