The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-02-04

Spencer Feb. 3.-Despite the Wretch-
ed weather and miserable walking, the
concert recital given in the town haal
this evening by the pupils of Miss Cath
crime Manning, teacher in elocution,
was largely attended. The regular
pupils who took part in the recital were
assisted by Miss Lillian Airline Hall, a
dancer of acknowledged ability, who
appeared with much effect in the rib
bon dance" and La Gitana"; Edward
Goggin, New England's favorite ballad
singer sang several ballads, in which
III greatly pleased his audience. Last
but not least, however, came baby Dor
othy Liberty, four years of age, who
took the house by storm, being obliged
to respond to encore after encore.
Miss Liberty sang "Comprenez vousT'
danced the Butterfly" and Cake
walk" Among perhaps the other
most noticeable features of the enter
tainment were the dancing of the little
Misses Marion Bell and Alma Cen
dreau, who appeared to the great de-
light of the whole audience in the
catchy Santiago hornpipe, and Miss
es Marion Page and Alice McKenna,
who carried the house in the frolicsome
"Costumed japanese dance"

pleasing number which was partici-
patel in by II young ladies, clad in
beautiful costumes in Japanese action
