Thirty.five little human butterflies
afforded the large audience who filled
the First Christian church Wednesday
night ohe of the most delightful mu-
steal evenings enjoyed this season,
when they appeared in Butterfly
Recital" under the direction of their
instructor, Miss Laura Grant.
Everything possible was done to sug-
gest the butterfly conception, the deo-
orations being especially beautiful and
effective. Wild clematis, ivy and trail
ing vines appropriated from the woods
were entwined about the rostrum and
placed in conspicuous places were
dozens of graceful butterflies, reflect
ing the hue of the colored electric
lights which were cleverly concealed
beneath each. An immense multi-col-
ored butterfly adorned one corner of
the rcstrum and lighting the auditorium
were myriads of electric lights encascd
in large realistic rose blossoms.
Miss Grant teaches strictly modern
lied method of piano instruction, using
the Wallace color system specially pre-
pared for kindergarten work. With
the exception of two or three num-
bers, all were given without the music,
the remarkable memorizing and musi-
cal understanding of the juvenile per
formers arousing the greatest admira-
tion and enthusiasm of the audience,
who demanded repeated encores at the
conclusion of various of the more pleas
ing selections.
Miss Rita Reed, one of the most
promising of Salem's young soloists,
gave splendid assistance, as did also
Miss Ruth Thompson, an older pupil
of Miss Grant.
Especially interesting numbers We're
the songs, the first Butterfly Time, "
participated in by twenty boys and
girls, opening the program. In the sec
ond chorus, "The Butterfly" fourteen
children, garbed in butterfly costume,
so delighted with their singing that it
was necessary to make second ap-
pearance. The closing number, "Gay
Butterflies" was also chorus, the
singers in costume representing "A rain
bow of butterflies, forming an exquisite
picture as they grouped themselves be
meath the vari-colored spotlight. Three
responses were made to this number.
The song, "Be My Little Bundle
bee," with whistling chorus, was alst
so well received that two extra mum
bers were given.
