That evening the witch of Endor appears to Esther in a dream and brings be fore her eight heroines of the Jew ish race. The scene ends with a scarf tableaux. The second act takes place in the palace of the King where the King being weary of the maidens who have appeared before him seeks out a beautiful maiden whom he had rescued outside the city gates. Sev eral maidens air their charms to the delight of Koosh, a funny little Eth- opian slave girl. Finally Esther is chosen queen. The third act is nine years later when Mordecai appears and tells the Queen that all the Jews are to be slain at the -order of tne King. He begs her to intercede for her people though it might mean death for her. Esther appeared before the King who received her and promised to save her people. The part of Esther was ably taken by Miss Pearl Wood who made h winsome Queen. Silas Reed, as the King of Persia, and Clarence Down, as Mordecai, .carried off their parts with exceptional ability. Mr. Gar net Hicks took the part of Hegai, King’s chamberlain and Miss Reta Rowe that of Meesha Zaoeel, Esther’s servant, and both did well. In fact all of the parts were well taken, the remaining players in the ca-ste being: Koosh, Miss Grace Strange; The Princesses, Lady Ozoona, Miss- Jean Sheere; princess Zuecca, Miss Mabel Hay; Jakosha, Miss Adeline Stone; I Kazma Shimeel, Miss Lulu Linden field; Persian Rose Maidens, Misses Mary McKaig, Mary Van Camp, Olai Reid, Barbara Dinney, Laurenef ============ __ Beaver, Dorothy Traquair, Robena’j P A X7ITT?C TLH?ATDC Hunkin, Doris Harvey; Dream Char-!
