ment. s ~ 81
The Delsartean idea of the beauty of
pose and motion received its first public
exemplifcation yesterday at the Harris
theater. the medium being an enter
tainment for the benefit of the news
boys home. Mrs. T. j. Preece, the
well-knOwn exponent of Delsarte's
ideas, was in charge, and carried the
beautiful representation to successful
issue. Her st. Paul and Minneapolis
furnished the young ladies, with the
exceptions noted in the programme.
These ladies in their Greek costumes,
indicating perfect freedom of body and
limb, made a very pretty picture, and
certainly inculcated new ideas OF the
grace and poetry of pose and motion as
they performed the various 1.-THE and
willowy aesthetic gymnastics of the
Delsartean school. The exercises them
selves were first given, and were fol-
lowed by practical exemplification in
the way of recitatiOnS, wordleSS poems
and poses, the latter conveying the
sense of various expressions. The pro-
gramme tells its own story as follows:
