F
JAPAN USE W EDDINC.
The Japanese Wedding which brought
the program to a close contrasted
prettily with the tableaux which pre
ceded it. The stage was first prepared
for the event by the removal of the
tableaux properties and the introduction
of Japanese lanterns, and then to
"Three Little Maids from School are
We'' music came a dainty little Japanese
maid, (Miss Gladys Bradbury) who pre
pared the stage for the coming of the
bewitching bride (Mrs. 1. D. II. Ralph)
who appeared shortly. It was at once
apparent that an event of much import
ance was about to take place for a most
elaborate toilette was prepared
either side of the stage the High Priest
(High Mucky-Muck, A-B-C.) Mr. A. G.
Warren, took his position at the altar
with stately grace, amid great applause.
Then came the bridegroom (Mr. J.
Henry Hentz, 3rd.) of Philadelphia, and
his valet (Mr. F. Walter Hentz), and
next came the bride and her maid and
the ceremony began. The high mucky-
muck uttered a service in real Japanese
to which the wedding party nodded

Then the bride tripped off the stage
and a moment later in flocked a bevy
of beautiful Japanese maidens Miss
Priest, Miss Dodson, Miss Aldridge, Mis
Bradbury, Miss Wiley and Mrs. Bailey
and they tiipped about gaily preparing
the stage for the wedding party. Just
as they divided and took positions on
assent and then the happy couple, kneel
ing at the front of the stage, plighted
their troth over a cup of tea and then
with the parting blessing of the A B C,
the wedding party left the stage amid
prolonged applause which was kept up
until the bride miiH groom reiurneu and
