SOCIETY VAUDEVILLE
IS A GREAT SUCCESS
Representative Audience Thoroughly
Enjoys Unique Entertainment
Given for Free kindergarten.

The long anticipated, much-tslked-Of
society vaudeville. given last night In
Whitney hall for the benefit of the Free
kindergarten. proved to be a gratifying
success socially, artistically, and, best
of all, financially. Every seat in the
house was taken and the audience. com
posed of representative society people of
the city, added materially to the brilliant
effect of the evening.
With the exception of an unavoidable
delay i'm beginning, the performance was
in every way cleveriy arranged and car
ried out, and was far above the general
average of amateur affairs
The costumes. stage settings and cleo
trio light effects we're picturesque and
brilliant. and the acting throughout might
have been considered clever if given by
professionals on the Orpheum stage.
The music of the evening, by the Or
chestra under the direction of Miss Esther
Allen, was very good both in the spe-
cial numbers and accompanying.
The usheTs of the evening were young
society girls, Misses Dorothy Bailey, Mar
gerry Jacobs. Dorothy Rooklidge, Barna-
dine KimbalI and Josephine Well, making
a pretty appearance in their dainty white
gowns.
The vocal solos were given in good
style by Mrs. Henry NJ. DinwOOdey and
Miss Edna COhn. The tableaux illus
trating popular plays were very effective,
particularly the scene from the DOLLS
House, where the little maidens in their
quaint, artistic costumes quite brought
down the house"
One of the most beautiful scenes of
the evening was the scarf dance" given
under the direction of Mrs Martha Royls
King by eight of the leading society girls
of the city, who, in exquisite rainbow
hued costumes. holding silver gauze
scarfs before their faces, went through
the mazes of the dreamy dance in an
inimitable manner
The Facts in the Case" the farce of
the evening, was eleverly put on under
the direction of Mrs. w. P. Kiser, who
took the leading part, ably assisted by
Mrs. Louis D. Gordon, Miss Mildred Nc
MILAN, William Leary and Athol Raw
Inns.
Mrs Arthur c. White scored quite a
success with her band of Italian street
musicians, VINO were encored several
times.
One of the amusing hits of the even
ing was the appearance of Kenneth G.
Kerr in his limitations. Mr. Kerr is
never found wanting, and last evening
his reproduction of a Chinese theatre
stunt was little short of masterful
During the intermissiOn Mrs. G. Z.
Richards, the pi esident of the Free Kin
dergarten association. made a few re-
marks, thanking the audience for the
loyal support, ana also giving a short
sketch of the work being done.
She also announced that last nights
performance was only preliminary to a
much more elaborate event which will
be given for the same cause some time in
February in the Salt Lake theatre, when
one of the light operas, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Martha Royle King, will be
presented.
