The San Francisco call., 1909-02-13

been realized for the children'S
hospital and the San Francisco
maternity through the sale of
season boxes and season tickets for
the kirmess that opens at the Central
theater on the evening of Wednesday,
February II.
AS the opening evening approaches it
is easy to- see in the rehearsals of each
day a decided Improvement in, detail
over the rehearsals of the previous day.
AS a whole. the dances probably are
the best executed that. have ever been
seen in San Francisco.
The kirmess dances have an air of
freshness, of originality, that profess
sional performances lack. There is
more natural beauty and grace in one
kirmess dance than in an infinity of
dances by professionals. The good
looks in the kirmess are permanent.
FLUFFY RUFFLES DANCE
The dainty fluffy ruffles dance is one
of the prettiest and most modern of the
kirmess dances. It includes sevral
vocal numbers. The magnificent voice
of George H. Willcutt has ample oppor-
tunity in the selection, My Fluffy
Ruff1e Maiden" Willcutt is one of the
hardest workers of the kirmess, being
connected with the dances as both
singer and dancer.
Name the Day" is the title of but
terfly speciality by Miss Edith Metcalfe
and Miss Dorothy Q. Van Sicklen. This
is the daintiest little side line of the
kirmess. The smile song holds it's own
with the rest of the Fluffy Ruff1es
dance. Mrs. James Fowler Presley,
Miss Renee ~Tolson, George H. Willcutt
and Emil Kehrlein Jr. will take part
in the latter speciality. Miss Frances
NJ. Stewart. Miss Lillian Van Worst and
Miss Erna NJ Hermann are among the
fluffy ruff1e dancers.
In honor of the Portola festival the
name of the Spanish dance appears on
the program as the Portola dance. The
dance of the French dolls and Teddy
bears will be given only at the Sat
urday matinee.
