tions given by Miss Elsie Hoglnnd.
and RedPe Sharpe. A recitative
drama, "From Feudalism TO Free

ly applauded. The plot of the play

the part of the audience when they had
finished and were Obliged to return to
the stage and repeat some of theirsex-
ercises In response to q prolonged
call for an encore. ~
But the Japanese drill, by "a girls

Der on the program. The girls went
thru the different movements, some OF

parent ease and admirable precision
and the fact that they completed the
somewhat lengthy drill without = hitch
showed that they had spent q long
time in careful practice.
