nOrUS IN MASK
ALL THE DANCERS IN THE CITY WERE
IN ATTENDANCE
A Host Enjoyable Programme Presented to
Both Spectators and Maskers and
Excellent Order Prevailed.

A tumble of bright colors; a nightmare
of hideous faces, with here and there
q pretty one that only made the others
more horrible; the strains of music min
gled with shouts of laughter, and over
all the brilliant light-such was the
grand masque ball given by the actors
Saturday night.
Turnverein Hall was crowded down
stairs with dancers and upstairs with
spectators, who enjoyed the stirring
sight. In every way the ball was IA pro-
nounced success. The attendance was
immense, the costumes varied and novel,
the specialties clever and entertaining
and the order all that anyone could ask.
AS for the dancers, the music furnished
them was excellent and there were TWEEN
ty-three numbers on the programme.
The programme opened with the usual
grand march, in which the variety of the
costumes was seen. Nearly everything
ran to the comic, but here and there IA
really elegant dress was seen.
In the march were delegations from the
Elks, the Jonathan Club, the Los An
geles Athletic Club and other organiza-
tions. The management of the whole
affair was in the hands of the following
gentlemen: Norval McGregor, impress
sario; George L. Kenny, chief rusher ;
Grant FOREMAN prompter; Percy Fenl-
more, ballet master; Thomas Keirns,
"supe'; all of whom acquitted them
selves admirably except the first five.
During the intermisson between the
dances the specialties were given. They
consisted of Roman sports by Messrs. Bar
ing, Scott, Sheckles, Beyner, Foote and
Banks, of the Los Angeles Athletic Club !;
a burlesque upon Prof. Hermann by Will
lam Rodgers; song by Percy Fenimore +;
originalites by Harry Armstrong and ALI
Gibson and a violin solo by Thomas
Keirns. The encores were frequent and
hearty, and the performers deserved the
applause.
Every body had a good time, danced
holes in their stockings and went home
just as it was dawning, tired, but happy
and glad "they had went" to the. actors,
ball. -
Among the professional people and citi-
zens who were conspicuous as dancers or
spectators were: Miss Jeffreys Lewis, Miss
Lydia Yeamans-Titus, Miss May Nannary,
Miss George Woodthorpe, Mrs. James
Woodthorpe, Mrs. Joseph Petriech, Nor
