In California about 18G4:
He Done His Level Best.
Was he a mining on the nat—
He done it with a zest;
Was ho a leading of the choir—•
He done his level best.
If he'd a regular task to do,
He never took no rest;
Or if ‘twns off and on—ihe same—
He done his level best.
If he was preaching on his beat,
He'd trani]) from East to West.
And North to Soutli—in cold and
hear—
He done his level best.
He'd curse and sing and howl
and pray,
•\iul dance and drink and jest.
And lip and steal—all one to him—

Master Williams, the little jester, and
others, were all exceptionally well
done. The Cupids made a great hit.
Their unconscious manoeuvres as kids
and not cupids, kept the house in an
uproar. The most talented child on
the stage was one of the Cupids—lit
tle Dorothy Austin. She has marked
musical and histrionic talent. She ia
bright and temperamental. Her eveiy
motion was controlled by the music
that was within her.
The ensembles, the individual w'ork,
the color effects, the training of
the voices, all went ot make up a co''-
geous stage production and a brilli3ii*
success.
'I'he s-um of $.jOO was realized—an
uni)recedented sum, considering tliat
not a ticket was sold on the street.
