part, the pronounced success that they
are She is pretty, graceful and thor
oughly self-poSseSSed and Is Wen
trained in that her training is not the
conspicuous feature of her work, ana
she has the charm so infrequently re-
tanned by children in public life OF per-
feet naivete and naturalness.
To prove the Iithesomeness Of his
limbs and the versatility Of his accom-
plishments, Arnold changes from one
style of performance to another as
easily as another child would change
from walking to hop skip and-jump
and back again.
4. He gives truly wonderful exhibition
of the possibilities of toe-work to one
who is an adept in that difficult branch
of his art. He dances on one foot and
then on the other, he goes across the
stage and back again, he pirouettes, he
bends and sways, and goes forward and
backward, and does perfectly unbeliev-
able things, in facial on the very tips
of his toes and without once deviating
from the straight line that runs from
his knee down through those tense and
firm little ankles to the, point of con-
tact with the floor
And then he bursts upon our view
robed in most fetching silken suit of
emerald green and does an Irish Jig
with as much sprightliness and grace
as If he had devoted his whole short
life to the task Of mastering the details
of that popular diversion, and he fol-
lows this UP by kind of heavenly
hornpipe, in which he appears in a
sailor suit Of such transcendent beauty
as would tempt most of us to rur away
to sea were 1t the custom of our gallant
captains to furnish their crews with
garbs Of such kind.
The finale of this most delightful pri-
The San Francisco call., 1899-07-30

vate entertainment was q military
march, participated in by both Arnold
and Ruth.
Both children bear silken American
flags in their hands and use them most
effectively in the maZes Of the magic
march that follows, during which the
stage seems full of little girls and boys
going through the most graceful and
complicated of evolutions amid a f1ut-
tering of flags here, there and every
where and under the glorifying bene-
diction of lights now soft, now bright,
long rays weaving together canopy
over the small heads and single rays
searching out the happy childish faces
and bringing them into bright relief
against the glittering background OF
the polished mirror surfaces. Up and
down they CO. and around and around;
and the flags flutter now close together,
now far apart, and the smiling faces
look at us from every angle and cor
ner, and the little feet tread the most
intricate of measures, until of a sudden
the lights go down.
Then the laughing crowd of children
vanishes into thin air; the mirrors, too,
disappear and in their place we behold
a wall covered with an artistic drapery
composed of the loved banner of our
country, and in the center of the stage
stand Ruth and Arnold alone with their
flagstaffs crossed, the silken folds of
their flags floating aloft just touching
their reverently bowed heads as IN
silent blessing.
Such is the turn which is just now
engrossing the attention of little Arnold
Grazier. 1t is we'll worth the seeing, is
it not? But, unfortunately for the many
who would be more than glad to look
upon 1t, for, the present it is only on
"private view"
The San Francisco call., 1899-07-30

hearsal of this newest invention in the
way of stage entertainment proves the
setting to be something SO out Of the
ordinary in the line Of spectacular
effect and the turn" so unusually ex-
cellent Of itself as to merit more than
curSory mention.
The backgrounds sextuple screen OF
immense mirrors-is at first rerlinis-
cent of Herr G. Won Palms inventions
which so increased the charms of La
Loie Fuller Papinta and several other
danseGses, who have delighted an en-
thusiastic public by their manifold
beauties. There is, however, a distinc-
tive quality about these especial pieces
of rejecting glass which becomes strik-
ingly apparent later on. and, in the es-
timation of the uninitiated adds to
Arnold's performance an element very
nearly, if not quite, approaching to the
marvellous.
With the lights turned on well in
front little Arnold makes his entrance
with all the sang froid of a mature
actor of established and worldwide
reputation. Pink shoes and pink tights,
a white satin coat and vest, red bou-
tonniere, tall white hat perched upon
the curly blonde hair and a cane in the

citation Of the many difficulties which
have to be surmounted in order to be-
come even a pasSable dancer IN any
one line of this graceful and always
charming art, this small Arnold cannot
but seem little if any short Of being an
absolute phenomenon. 1t requires, we
are told, years of persistent and pains
taking effort and application to make
even the most ambitious and perSeVer-
ing pupil into an acceptable toe-dancer
And we are, moreover, assured tnat
such a pupil once having acquired the
ability to move about more or less
gracefully on the tips Of the feet, in
stead Of in the manner intended by
nature, is forever debarred from arrlv-
Ing at anything save mere mediocrlty
in any of the other styles OF fancy
dancing.
The reason for this, it is said. is that
constant practice with the feet in the
perfectly unnatural position, which is
necessitated by toe-dancing, first
strains the muscles and tendons and
joints and then has a tendency to so
harden and stiffen them that anything
like the pliability necessary for step
dancing Of any kind becomes an utter
impossibility. While this may be, and
undoubtedly is, true in the generality or
cases, 1t certainty has not been in the
case of Arnold Grazer. His tiny feet
and ankles instead of incurring the pen
atty of partial rigidity through his de-
fiance of anatomical rules and regula-
tons seem to have gained by the
means a most unusual degree of pliabil-
ity, and to have been rendered capable
Of doing more astonishing things than
feet and ankles ever did before.
OF late DR.. Grazer, Arnolds father,
has been engaged in perfecting an ar
rangement of mirrors and colored lights
designed to exhibit the young dancer

special talent Placed first under the
care OF the best local teachers, he later
became a pet pupil Of the celebrated
danseuse. Madame Bonfanti, then or
New York, and afterward took course
Of lessons from Katharine Bartho, the

For the past two years little Arnold
has been allowed to exercise his truly
wonderful gift, both professionally and
at various benefit and charity enter
tainments, and whenever he has ap-
peared he has made a most signal sue
cess It is, however, a matter OF pride
to him. young as he is, that his public
triumphs are won on purely artistic
rather than personal grounds.

bined with a winning grace of manner
which could not fail to predispose even
q most cold and critical audience in
his favor from the moment of his first
appearance before them, the good-na-
tured indulgence invariably shown to a
child's efforts at entertainment is soon
succeeded by surprised admiration, in
which the consideration of greater or
less years has no place, and discrim-
mating applause such is is won alone
by real merit and not bestowed simply
to please the recipient.

themselves into the affections Of an ad-
rniring public and won for themselves
far more than local fame. But there is
one little native son of the Golden Gate
city who is something really phenom-
email in his own special lines, and thoae
lines radiate in various directions.
His name is Arnold Grazer, and he
first saw the light Of day nine short
years ago, but he has danced almost
from the time that he began to balance
himself unsteadily upon his small and
wobbly feet His whole sensitive little
body thrilled to the throb and rhythm
Of music before he could speak the
words that told how much he loved 1t;
and as soon as he could safely walk
alone ne began to invent, before long
mirror, little dances of his own which
were marvels Of grace and rhythmical
movement.

ents have been able to give him every
advantage in the way Of instruction for

state. In the latter part of 1865 he was
appointed chief of police to succeed
EIihu Yale, and was a most efficient
chief. He also served in the war as a
captain of the Fifteenth C. " and was
promoted to colonelcy, which he did
not accept.
During his short term as chief he had
become very popular with the patrolmen
of the department, and on his retiring
from office they presented to him, as a
token of esteem, the picture referred to
above. In the center of the picture is
a pen draft of the following resolutions,
written so finely that a magnifying
glass is needed to read the text:
"At meeting of New Haven police
force held at the police office September
Z, 1866, the following preamble and reso-
lutions were passed unanimously:
Whereas, George M. White, Esq, for
the last ten months our respected chiet,
has resigned his office, and whereas Of
ficers and patromen desire to express
our sincere regret at the occurrence and
our admiration of him as a man and an
officer,
Therefore, Resolved, that we sincere
ly regret the resignation of our chief.
Resolved, That in George M. White,
Esq, we have ever found the courte-
GUS, high toned gentleman, and the eff
Client and impartial officer, one thorough
ly devoted to the duties Of his office and
faithful in their discharge;
Resolved, That in whatever business
he may engage or wherever he may go
with him shall be our sympathy and
best wishes.
Resolved, That as token of our es-
TEEN for our ex-chief a copy of these
resolutions, together with a suitable tes-
timonial be presented to him.
Just below the draft of resolutions is
the following inscription:
