Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-08

young women We're brought back. They
are we'll trained and executed the en-
tire dance with a grace uneXcelled by
any professional ballet which has been
in Atlanta this season.
CotilIion Number a Hit.
The cotillion number was well re-
ceived and the number which followed
it, the Silver Spray ballet, danced by
more than 100 children, drew an ova-
ton. In the part of Titania little Lau-
ra Lewis Lawhorn proved as graceful
fairy queen as one would care to see.
"A Night in the Orient" was a de-
| light and the dancing in this charming
number was not excelled during the en-
| tire program Miss Vera Thomas and
Miss Imogene Simril, who led a score of
Yama Yama girls, the feature of the
number, left nothing wanting in the
manner of ginger, and be it remem-
| bered a Yama Yama dance is nothing
| if not sprightly. A trio composed Of
Miss jamie Cooper Miss Louise Brad
| ley and Eugene Trader scored a de-
cided hit in this number.
| The Indian chorus, a recital of the
story of Captain John Smith and Po-
cahontas, was we'll received. Miss Re-
gina Rambo in the role of Pocahontas
won the instant approval OF her audi
ence with her pantomime in the open
ing act.
Japanese Ballet Scores.
The Jap girl ballet was another strik-
ing number of the program and drew
rounds of applause.
By far the most pretentious number
was The Bohemian Girl in which the
familiar scenes of the famous opera
were rendered. Because of the illness
of Mrs. Carthew- Yorstoun, Mrs. j. Ed
gar Mckee sang the role of Airline and
triumphed in the singing Il Dreamt
Dwelt in Marble Halls Harry Bick-
! ford. Miss Alberta DeFour and Percy
Lynwood also scored.
The spectacle called THE Vestal Vir-
gin or the Dawn of Christianity" a true
Kirmess number, was featured by
young women from Miss Woodberry' s
school. In portraying the alteration OF
the vestal virgins, the girls gave an ex-
hibition of Delsarte rarely seen. In this
number Mrs. Mckee sang an aria from
1
Judith.
Governor Praises kirmess.
| The highest praise also was given the
Thursday evening performance by
/, Governor Joseph NJ. Brown, who, with q
party of members of his family and
friends, occupied one of the boxes.
1T is a great show, the best of its
kind ever saw" said Governor Brown
Il enjoyed it thoroughly, and wish to
add my commentator"
Past Exalted Ruler Walter Andrews
who also is chairman of the executive
committee of the Kirmess, and one OF
its most energetic promoters, said
1T is the biggest show at popular
| prices that Atlanta has ever had, and
the people can not afford to miss it.
The features surpassed our greatest
hopes, and the Kirmess is a treat for
every one who goes
