BOWLING GREEN CLUB:

There was another crowded attendance at the City Hall last night, when the Lilliputians produced "A Gaiety Girl" The show was somewhat curtailed, and finished early, but at the same time from an artistic point of view the performance left nothing to be desired. Many changes have occurred in the casting of characters since the children were last here, the most important being the substitution of Jack Pollard for Daphne Trott in the diverting Ale of Montague Belarly, the erring sky pilot. He sang, and played, as well as ever, but look-confirmed this el as though he would be happier in his old time part of the Ely Place man. Miss Daphne Trott, as Lady Virginia was the essence of self-possession, and had many pretty and capable aides under her chaperonage. The caused rounds of applause, and as sung by Teddie MacNamam, and re-jolted by Fred Pollard in the orchestra, formed the event of the evening. It is needless to state that re maining characters were admirably pourtrayed. An important meeting of the Kowloon Bow- and the mise-en-scène depicting the conclusion
