much. The manager was so kind to me,
and never hurried me or ScOlded me, and

with beauty. Her dancing is something
new, and writer at the East speaks of it
i'll this raphsOdical strain: "It is motion
welded to the poetry of the skies, for
when she floats around the stage she
looks as if her feet disdained the earth,
and that her buOyant soul was trying to
watt her TO the regions she but left some
nineteen years ago. Miss Glover is a
natural danSeuSe, has never taken les
sons from any school of dancing and has
certainly risen to prominence through
her own eXertiOnS. 1t is conceded that
she is the most accomplished exponent
OF terpSichore that America has pro-
duced. She is finished step dancer and
also executes taultleSsly the most classic
of ballet solos. She has a sympathetic
and magnetic presence, and not only
catches her audience quickly, but holds
them to the end"
