CARMENCITA'S DANCING.

Carmencita's dancing. 1t represents the
poetry of motion. Not the smooth and even
grace of rhythmic motion that brings to view
the expected at regular intervals. Not at all.
1t is wild and weird grace unique, odd and
fascinating II is without rule, reason or
method. There is lot a twist nor a turn of
her 1.-the, sinuous form that is not gracefully
abrupt and startlingly unexpected. 1t is typi-
cal and picturesque. 1t is as distinctively her
own as the great lustrous eyes, the clear
olive skin and the dusky bro ME hair are dis
tlnctly the characteristics of the Andalusian
girl that She is There is not an abrupt jerk
of her head abandoned fling of her arms or
sinuous bend of her back that is at all like
anything ever seen before; yet the grace,
the abruptness, the free swing of the splen-
did arms, the wild whirl of the distended
skirt, the gay toss of the bronze locks and
the wild clatter of the castanets are the be-
wildering adjuncts of Carmencita's wonder
full dancing. That is the way she danced at
the metropolitan last night whirling, spin
ming, pirouetting to the mandolin ana guitar
music of her own sunny Spain, while the
audience applauded and encored until even
her 1.-the strength was exhausted
The Spanish Students form the second
feature of the entertainment and they pro-
duce fascinating music from their guitars
and mandolins. Among other things they
played "SchuDerts Serenade,'' while the au-
dience listened in raptures. and then an
swered the encore with the "Patrol Com
ique,'' which brought thunders of applause.
Tonight by request, they will add the 'Bou-
LANCER March," than which nothing is sweet
er for their stringed instruments.
Carmencita and the Spanish Students are
sandwiched in between two delightful one

Both are light and bright admirably cast;
and serve to set off the central attractions
very desirably.

1t is safe to say that ladies and children
will flock to the Grand this week, where
Little Lord Fauntleroy' is being performed
by fairly successful all-round company.
The so-called sterner sex will also find much
that is interesting in the play. The book of
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett has delighted
millions both in the old world as well as the
new world. Delightful as the book is in the
dramatized version the best features of the
story are brought well.to the front Little
Lord Faunteroy," while it introduces a most
loyable character, teaches most wholesome
lesson, ana the individual who has not ben
Gifted by either reading the book or seeing
the play is a most hardened wretch. The
entertainment at the Grand this week is
strikingly opposite to that furnished last
week. Audit is most welcome change. 1t
is one which appeals to all classes, and be-
sides giving pleasure tor the moment, leaves
lasting effect for good. Lord Fauntleroy
is ceverly delineated. Mabel Walsh alter
