AN ARTISTIC PRESENTATION

AN ARTISTIC PRESENTATION

Society is still discussing the recent
tableaux vivant in which were posed some
of the most beautiful women in Birming-
ham.
The entertainment which was witnessed
by limited number of guests, was the
most artistic ever presented in this city.
1t is no exaggeration of speech or pen
to say that the arrangements and the
entire beautiful setting of the pictures
could not have been IN more perfect har-
mony with the subjects presented had
they been in the hands of professionals.
AS for the personal beauty and grace of
the women who posed in the pictures each
one would be accounted the loveliest of
her type by the most impartial judge in
the world.
Society. too, is quite deploring the fact
that the entertainment was in the nature
of private one, with the exelnsiveness
of drawing room affair, and there is
popular demand to have it repeated at
one of The large theatres or in the ball
rooms of the CLUBS.
Women who are interested in the sew
eral philanthrople organizations of the
city have expressed their desire to have
| the entertainment reproduced for phllan
thropic cause and they would feel no resi-
fancy in attempting the roles of patron
neses for an entertainment already given
/ under auspices most brilliant socially.
There can be no doubt of its great finan-
cial success If presented publicly. There
are several phlanthropie causes that APP
peal to the public and under the auspices
of either of them the proceeds from the
entertainment would augment a treasury

MAIDS
TIE pictures recently presented repre-
scented ten religions The women selected
as embodying in their types the most
striking characteristics of the several re-
| ligions quite immortaized themselves. The
art of posing is seldom so well shoyn to
such remarkable advantage. Every de-
tail of costume was most conscientiously
Wof1sed out. Color, atmosphere. feeling,
were all there, producing a picture that
might have been masterpiece of some
of the old masters and representing the
spirit of religion, deep, mystical, the real
mysticism of the ages, the real and divine
beauty of worship.
Society will be deeply indebted to those
who arranged the pictures and also to
those who posed in them If the entertain
ment is repeated, and if there Is any
chance for reproduction the opportunity
should certainly be taken advantage of.
