The ‘‘Fairies Festival.” On Tuesday evening the pupils of the Monnett school presented the Operetta, “The Fairies Festival,” in the high school auditorium. They were assisted by Miss Wolf, a violinist from Chicago. The entertainment was excellent and worthy of a much larger audience than greeted it. Miss Wolf’s numbers exhibited the variety of her skill and mastery of her instrument. Certainly daintier little fairies never tripped rhythmical measure than the dear little girls who knew their parts so perfectly. Their attention to their leader’s direction was worthy a more experienced chorus. Their songs were smoothly rendered and with excellent enunciation. Much praise is due Miss Bogart, their director, and Miss Waymire, the accompanist, for the work of the pupils. This article would not be complete without mention of the exquisltly dainty decorations which adorned the stage. It was real fairyland.
