Pockets for Orphans

BY FLORENCE BosARD LAWRENCE

Meath overhanging branches of trees
whose leafy boughs furnished an eX-
quisite background for the beautiful
gowns, the graceful figures and the
coquetry and charm of loveliness, men
and maidens danced the dances of all
nations and furnished that amusement
which is to charm the gold pieces from
the pockets of the beholder to the Cot-
fers of the Los Angeles orphans home. /
With radiant faces, eyes flashing hap
piness, and dimpling smiles, the young
woman participants of this entertain
ffient offered q rare picture of FEMININE
beauty. while the men who shared in
the dances presented q brave appear
ance and wore their quaint garb with
excellent effect. The dances, tableauX
and songs with which the program was
made up were beautifully costumed and
We're performed by men and women
whose personal attributes made them
particularly effective in the roles or
costumes for which they were assigned. |
Stage Picture Gorgeous

ably simulated

fessional affairs than the spectacle of
the opening grand march on the stage
last night

of the carnival, the representatives OF
the fun and frivolity of many ma

bowed, saluted, danced and sang and
made their entrances and exits TO
lively music and the frequent inter
ruption of usherS bearing arms full OF
flowers. The applause of the friendly
audience which completely filled the
spacious and beautiful Auditorium and
the plaudits of the fellow players
formed delightful interludes in the
program. Popular choruses and songs
given with an abandon and Jolllty
which went far toward making up for
any possible lack of vocal power upon
the part of the singers were frequent
in the program and solo dances ana
dances of small groups showed an in
tricacy of detail most unusual and un-
expected in this entirely amateur af-
fair.
