are we'll trained and executed the en-
tire dance with grace ureXcelled by
any professional ballet which has been
in Atlanta this season.
CotiIlion 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
a 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 1t remem-
bered Yama Yama dance is nothing
if not sprightly. trio composed of
Miss jamie Cooper, Miss Louise Brad
ley and Eugene Trader scored a de-
cided hit in this number.
The Indian chorus, q recital Of the
story of Captain John Smith and Po-
cahontas, was well received. Miss Re
gina Ralnbo 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 1.-THE Bohemian Girl" in which the
familiar scenes of the famous opera
were rendered. Because of the illness
of Mrs. Carthew- Yorstoun, Mrs. ]. Ed

| triumphed in the singing II Dreamt l
Dwell 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" 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
Judith.
