FI-FI PRESENTED BEFORE CROWDED HOUSE

Many Were Turned Away For Want of Room—Performance Again Tonight. The first night’s performance of Fi-Fi, which was given Thursday night at the Ellis opera house, was a decided success, both financially and as to the production. The large audience which filled the opera house is enthusiastic in praise of the spectacular beauty of the performance and the ability of the participants. The artistic dances, the effective lighting effects and the worth of the cause for which the entertainment is given, makes many sufficient reasons for a crowded house*tonight. Tomorrow a more detailed account of this musical fantasy will be published. We feel assured that any who neglect attending this home talent play which is pronounced to be one of the very best ever given in the city, will have just ■ cause for regret. Owing to the big demand for seats, many were unable to obtain admittance last evening, and this will probably be the case this evening. For this<-reason it has been decided to repeat the performance at a matinee to be given Saturday afternoon beginning at 2t30. Those who failed to use their tickets may do so at the matinee. The admission to, all at the matinee will be 25 cents.
