The showing for the quarter Is a The civic Improvement committee of the Astoria Woman's club desires to express Its most sincere and grateful 255 00 thanks to each and everyone of tne principals and chorus In the children's operetta of "Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs" for their kindness In giving their voluntary services and their regular and punctual attendance at the rehearsals, culminating In the unqualified success of the two per formances given on Thursday and Fri day last at Fishers' opera house. The heartiest thanks are also offered to all those ladles who worked so dil igently and strenuously In producing the operetta. The exceeding able manner In which Mrs. Gratke per formed the onerous duties of stage manager, arranging the tableaux, dances, flag drill, etc., speaks volumes for that lady's hlstronlc ability. The splendid training of all the singers as shown by the performances of the principals and the wonderful precis- Ion of the "attaque" In the chorusei are In themselves the highest testimony of Mrs. Maddock's great musical talent. To Miss Nell Busey, the accompanist and Miss E. Larsen, violin soloist, all praise must be given for their able support. Mrs. Kuettner, earnest ant Indefatigable In everything she under takes, largely contributed to the gen eral success of the undertaking, not i only behind the scenes, but also In dis posing of tickets, for which she es tablished a record. Mrs Callaway, as general business manager, was untir ing In her efforts to Insure success. The thanks of the committee are also due to Mrs. A. A. Finch, Miss Elmore, Perry Trulllnger, Will Gratke and others who materially assisted In dif ferent ways, but all conducing to the highly satisfactory result 'After paying expenses, it is hoped & good, substantial sum will be avail able for" the Astoria Woman's club ntvn Imnrnvement fund.
