Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-03-08

sings in this number with Miss Jane
Sands.
The gondolier dance. with the largest
number of participants, was especially
attractive, and the "Viennese Valse' and
La EspagnOle,' interpolated numbers by
members of the group, were very well eX-
ecuted and added immensely to the en-
joyment of the whole procedure.
Not Slow Moment.
Other spectacles follow swiftly, and
there is not drag anywhere. The quick
succession of brilliant costumes makes
half the show, while the spectators were
delighted with the new steps of the spe-
cialties Miss Virginia Harrison, who
danced the merry Widow with Stuart
Gilmore, and who closed the kir1ness with
a merry dance named lola" was one OF
the stars. The Indian dance, more of a
ceremony than q dance, however, was a
novelty of merit rarely seen. The specta-
tors watched it with breathless interest.
and the Italian Tarentella was voted
about the sWiftest set of steps possible.
The London Gaiety Girls and English
chappies were true to their roles and won
much praise. The costumes throughout
were of the fetching sort.
But it was not only the stage per-
Torrance which made the kirn1ess gay
last night. \ select group of cigarette
girls, dressed in the style of Carmen,
have trays of new cut bouquets. Pretty
girls have lemonade for the thirsty. 1t
is a method of selling which makes the
old beaux sigh and the young men buy.
a lively stock market feature. The ush-
ers solicit votes in the audience and
megaphone the returns to the stage.

Like a Fancy Dress Ball.
After the kirmess. the spectators flock
ed to the smaller ballroom and danced.
1t looked like a fancy dress ball, as the
kirmess performers wore their costumes
throughout.
Credit for the success of the kirmess
premiere is due to many persons inter-
ested in the Junior League. but no one
who saw the show will begrudge high
praise to Miss Lila Agnew Stewart, the
untiring director Of the whole stage pro-
Another whose work has been of the
grueling sort and who is responsible for
a great share Of the success Is Miss Rose
NJ. Bradford, president OF the Junior
League. The other members OF the
league were all on hand last night. and
many Of them were taking an active
part in one way or another.
