Little Girls as Apple Trees.


 How would you like to live in an apple tree that had no blossoms in the springtime and no apples in the fall?
 Here are four little girls (although two of them are dressed as boys). who live in four little dwarf apple trees for eighteen minutes every night, and then change to dancing girls when the trees break open The little girls Ruth, Edith. Mary and Helen-are stage children. and play in big musi- cal show.
 In one of the big song numbers, called "'rhe Sign of the HoneNmoon,' . the children are hidden away in the four apples trees and no one can tell where they are. When the song is over, the apple trees open and the trunks of the trees turn out to be the little bodies of the girls, the arms and legs representing the branches. And then the audience knows that the dwarf apple trees which they have been watching for eighteen minutes are not trees at all, but have been transformed into four pretty little girls, all covered with flowers and leaves.
 The little girls shake off the flow CTS. hold the leaves in their hands, and dance about the stage. while the audience sits, in wonder at the funny little moving apple trees. These lit- tie girls can be seen tonight at the Broadway theater in "A Broken Idol''
