| cess, nor a parent but should feel ex-
tremely satisfied with the performance
Of the diminutive members of their
| family.
Splendid music was furnished dur
ing the intermissions by the Ellis Glee
Club, including solo by Mr.. Ellis
which was warmly applauded. The
music for the dancing was provided by
Mrs. Alice Brown. assisted by Josef
Rosen. Mrs. Brown performs on the
piano with a skill that comes of long
experience and at the same time keeps
one eye on the little dancers, ever
ready to prompt them in case of a
misstep.
The opening number was a Maypole
dance Seventeen carefully trained
children took part and danced about
the Maypole in perfect time and with
out a single error to mar the beauty
of the figure. They were dressed in
pink, green and white, and the colors
made a delightful symphony as the
little ones move in and out around the
festooned pole.
= The second number was a song, "The
Little House that Love Built" which
f., was very charmingly rendered by
| Thelma Murphy, who helped her pref
ty singing with graceful gestures and
easy dancing. Thelma also sang 1.-THE
| Grille with the Big Toy Bear" while
six little tots comically dressed to rep
resent snowwhite Teddy bears dane
| ed in a way that convulsed the house
with laughter. With the immense
| headgear they wore, it was not possible
/ for the little ones to see what was go
| ing on about them, and the number
was decidedly and Intentionally laugh
! I'll
/ ingly original and timely.
| Number three was a very prettily
sung and acted piece representing the
| Indians of poetry. Ten children were
| strikingly costumed like Minnehahas
and sang selection called Laughing
| Water which they accompanied with
very pretty pantomine. During the
midst of the number Hazel auckland,
| in an original dress, gave an exceed
ingly clever Indian dance. Miss Buck
lands dancing as well as her histrionic
ability, is to be highly commended and
she earned well-merited applause. The
stage setting for this number was very
effective. - +
One of the most charming numbers
of the program was 1.-THE Seasons"
Space will not permit fair description
of this fine selection yet it cannot be
entirely passed. Little Kinau Wilder
captured the hearts of all the specta-
tors when she appeared as cupid in
pretty pink tights. She danced with
surprising degree of attainment con-
sfdering her size. She was followed by
Spring" represented by six daintily
costumed girls in pink, who danced
very cleverly. Summer consisting
of six girls in pink came next and the
more advanced stage of their steps as
well as their costumes conveyed the
progressive idea of the seasons. Sum
mer'' was followed by Autumn" with
six larger girls in very effective cos
tunes of yellow. Their very graceful
dancing made it difficult to conceive
how the progressive idea could be fol-
lowed further, yet when Winter ap-
peared with costumes of white, sug-
costing glistening snow and the jingle
of sleigh bells, the spectators were
fairly aroused to enthusiasm at the
splendid exhibition of fancy dancing.
Each and every girl who took part in
THE Seasons has reason to be. proud |
I Reynold McGrew gave a very credit
able rendition of Back, Back to Balti-
more" attired as the veriest Baltimore
coon that ever struck the pike
Young McGrew is one of Honolulu's
cleverest Juvenile performers and
shows an ability far in advance of his
years. The same might be said with
equal justice of Helen Center, who
danced a real coon hoe-down after Nc
Grew had finished singing and did it in
a very artistic manner.
The 'Danseuse" by Hazel auckland,
attired in a pink ballet costume was
we'll performed and greatly appre-
ciated.
The "Witch's Chorus was very well
received, and Vernon Tenney sang a
solo with a sweet voice that was Won
derfully accurate and clear. The song
was in minor strain, in keeping with |
the MISUNDERSTANDING witches. After |
the encore the witches suddenly dis
robed and appeared in fetching cos |
tunes of red. green and black.
The Ballet des Fumes was thought by |
many to be the most effective number !
of the afternoon. AT all events, it was
very heartily applauded and encored |
Two exceedingly good little dancers
are Majorie and Dorothy Hoogs, who |
represented the Army and Navy and |
danced in way that pleased the au-
dience exceedingly.
Another clever little dancer is Mar
garet Center, who appeared in Spanish |
costume and did her work in a way
that has great promise of even more
clever work by and by.
The entertainment wound up with a
cotillion led by Ruth Soper and Rey-
mold McGrew and finished a very de-
lghtful and profitable performance.
Mrs. Gum is to be congratulated for
the success her effort has so well earn
ed, and the parents should be thankful |
for the opportunity Of their children
getting a training that will be of great
benefit to them all through life.
tainly stands Honolulu merchants to
give the Oceanic Co. all the support
possible in order to insure this new
service being kept running.
