Seattle's Paper-King Carnival

For the past four weeks, every day and evening has witnessed a congregation of ladies assembled at the armory building, bending every effort in unison with the untiring zeal of Prof. Dillon and the skillful work of Mr. E. A. Johnston in perfecting the preparations for the presentation of the coming carnival, which opens tomorrow night and continues for a series of four consecutive evenings. Imagine yourself in the new armory building, transformed into a regal court, filled to its utmost capacity with interested spectators and auditors, looking down upon a scene comprising costumes of every hue and variety: from the stately King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth, to the common peasant composed entirely of paper. The cast of characters includes Queen Elizabeth, played by Miss Clara Wilson; Mary of Scots, played by Mrs. Reich; Lady Jane Grey, played by Miss Nellie Miller; and King Henry VIII, played by Mr. Harry H. Huse. The spectacle, under many-colored lights, will form a grand ensemble of regal splendor that will have the effect of brightening up the stale and prosy pages of history.
