An Idea OF the Dances.
To describe the grace and novelty
Of the Intricate dances, the beauty Of
the costumes and other details is quite
impossible in limited space. The dances
to be appreciated should be seen. An
idea, however, of what is contained in
the above programme is offered as fol-
lows:
In the opening tableau will be seen all
the dancers led through the intrlcacies
of a grand march by the court jester,
Harry q. Newman. The lime lights,
the sinuous and vari-colored streams Of
promenaders and the music is bound to
combine a spectacle pleasing and beau
tiful.
Introductory to the programme
proper will be seen the Shadow
Dance by Miss Grace Silkman. De-
scribed briefly, it consists in the APP
pearance on the stage of a charmingly
attired girl who discovers a shadow at
her feet The shadow is, of course,
her own and is thrown by fight hid
den in the wings. The dancer dis
covers her dark and ever-mimicing
companion and begins to coquette and
dance with it, producing an effect that
is pretty in idea and pretty materially.
Each of the dances following, which
include from twenty to thirty or more
persons, have individually some Win
ming feature. Most Of the dances have
solos or duets. In thj German, or north
country harvest dance, duet will he
presented by Miss Falkowsky and Fred
Tropp. The queen of the Maypole
OEnglisD Dance will be Miss Ethel
rockingham, her attendant Miss
Albro.
The Military Dance.
Tothe spirited and familiar "Darkey' 5
Dream" Miss Gibbs and Miss Edwards,
two of the pretty West Side girls in the
Gypsy Dance, will dance the duet In
the Military Dance following will be
seen the striking hussar costumes of
red and gold. To cymbal music state
ly and very fetching" duet will be
danced by Miss Hoban and Miss Gussie
Tropp.
The duet included in the Tarantelle
Dance will be presented by Miss Board
man and Miss Foster Scarfs, tam
borines and an idea of coquetry give
the dance a very telling effect. Scotch
lads and lassies will appear in the
dance of hieland craigs an lowland
dunes. Captain James MOir will do the
highland fling, and the sword dance
will be given by Mr.. Gum.
Miss Skinner and Miss Archibald will
appear in the duet in the Spanish
dance. The duet is called "Cachucha."
If the name signifies anything the
dance should be bewildering and a
maze. In the Indian Dance the solo
will be given by Miss Grace Connolly.
1t is said to be quite n truthful repro
duction of the rapid, whirling measure
of the Red women.
Not the least attractive feature of
the Kirmess will be the music. Bauer $
orchestra will render selections espe-
cially chosen and appropriate for the
different events. Well-known women
and their assistants in appropriate cos
tunes will preside over candy. flower,
lemonade and other booths afternoon
and evening. The doors will open at
and o'clock and the curtain will rise
an hour later.
At Stelle & Seeleys the diagram of
seats will be open each day for the day
following.
