We're i'm the audience in full proper
ton to the men.
The program was in minstrel form
from first to last curtains. Part one

Russell as interlocutor. Numerous
local hits We're sprung during the
first part, and in the one-act farce i'm
which Flo Russell had the part of
the messenger boy.

numbers -Ostende, Egyptian dance
and Dance de Spring Perhaps no
more graceful dancing has been
seen On the local stage.
The tango, danced by the Misses
Mayme Prayer and Carlotte Thomp

fulness, and free from all suggestive
ness. The dance was introduced,
first, in the Argentine version, slow
and studied in movement. Next was
given the American adaptation, other
wise known as Texas Tommy, but
without the vulgar.ty suggested by
the term Or i'm the mind of the aver

interpreted. The dance was repeat
edly encored, as We're all the other
