The children rendered their parts perfect-
yand with charming naturalness. E.
R. Bennett impersonated Frost King,
much to the delight of the large audi-
ence. and H. P. Morgan was an ideal
Santa Claus. The entertainment was
under the direction of flies Florence Jen-

ing the cantata presents were distributed
to each member ofthe school. In be-

A Sparkling Cllrlstlnas Cantata Sung at the
South Norwslk Methodist Church.
As usual, the Christmas celebration of
the First Methodist Episcopal Sunday
school was a great success in every
particular. In some respects, however.
the entertainment of last evening ex-
A plan was
mencement of the exercises, but the
before that time admission became nec‘
essary, and soon the old church was
packed with an audience that, if em-
phatic expressions count for any-
thing, was greatly delighted with
the presentation of the Christmas can-
tata entitled “Santa Claus’ Arrival."
For this the special scenic and light ar—
rangements were very pretty, effective
and appropriate. Upon one side was a
view of “Snowinnd,” on the other.
"Fairyland,” and in the centre a mag-
nificent Christmas tree. Over the
whole, in incandescent lights upon a
background of evergreen, was the Wurd
“Christmas." The Christmas tree and
the scenes were also illuminated with
colored electric lights From Snowlaud
came the Esquimaux, the Brownies, the
Workmen and Santa Claus,aud from
Fairyland the fairies and the fairy
queen. These, with a large chorus,
sung the story of the arrival of the chil-
dren’s favorite, and in all parts ac-
quitted themselves most credit-
ably. The cantata was given
by the younger members of the school,
and they occasionally became bewilder-
cd with their novel and brilliant sur-
roundings and their hearty greetings.
This, however, added to rather than de-
tracted from the pleasure of the occas-
ion. When Suntn Claus did arrive. who
was most happily ilupemlnated by Fred
Force, and exhibited the homes of his
fairies. Esquimau: and the great
Christmas tree, the tableaux thus pre-
sented was a most brilliant and beauti-
futons. The music of the cantata was
ofavery catchy character. and in all
parts the highest praise is deserved by
all participants. After the cantata the
usual distribution of gifts was made to
the school. The scenery. which was so
much admimc‘l. and which gave each a
beautiful effect and finish to this pro-
duction. was painted and kindly and
generously given by Luther Wright.
Christmas Services at frlnlty.

POPULAR AMUSEMENTS.
The Cotton King.
William A. Brady‘s successful melo-
drama. the “Cotton King," will be the
, attraction at l'loyt’s Theatre, next Tues-
day. When this play was constructed.
the author, Sutton Vane, certainly put
some very strong scenes together. The
cotton-millsceno. in the fourth act, is
said to be one of the most realistic and
sensational episodes ever at tempted upon
the American stage. The success which
always attends the “Cotton King" is
always the some \vherevor it plays. Its
cleanliness of text, its blending of pathos
and humor, its wholesome and moral
lesson and its pure simplicity through-
out how won its way into the hearts and
homes of the public.
The Tornado.
"The Tornado.” which will be the
holiday attraction at Hoyt's Theatre on
New Years, matinee and night, has
cleared the way of every doubt as to the
success of Lincoln J. Carter‘s second
production of scenic melodrama. “The
Fast Mall"was his first effort, and before
its presentation wise heads scoffed at the
things Mr. Carter said he could present
to make it a novelty, but he did all he
said he would, and made a fortune
beside.
