JOURNEY OF JOY"
Is GREAT SUCCESS
Northern Home for Friendless
Children Will Be Greatly Aid
ed by Dual Performance of
Amateur Play

The first performance of the long-her-
aided Journey of JOY" n musical fam
tasy for the benefit of the Northern Home
for Frlendless Children, was given with
great success last night IN the ballroom
OF the Bellevue Stratford before n goodly
sized audience composed of those inter-
ested in the welfare of the home and
their friends. The production, which was
staged by Mr.. CHARLES Leon Downing
contains a large and exceptionally good
cast and compares 1uite favorably with
many of iSv rcigning musical comedies
Of tho season. Tho former Mask and
Wigs mans training is apparent In the
dancing choruses, which would do credit
to many professional productions, and
from the instant the curtains parted and
a weirdly garbe1 chorus, THE Winged
Mysteries" danced to the strains OF
Grieg's music, until the final number,
"Cinu ct Cinp" danced by five men and
five girls in scarlet and white satin cos
TUNES. the affair welt with n swing ard
verve quite foreign to most amateur pro-
ductions. The costuming was smart In
the extreme and fairly breathed of the Bal
Tabarin.
A number Of interesting specialties were
introduced during the course of the eve
ming: of these the delightful singing of
Miss Kathryne Mortlmoore, whose sister,
Miss Dorothy Mortimoore, furnished the
violin obligato, was perhaps the most
noteworthy, although almost equally good
were the quaint little Scotch songs of
Miss MarGaretta Bispham, the grotesque
pas de deux introduced by Miss Frances
McCann and Mr.. Henry Nightingale, and
the graceful dances executed by Miss
Edwina NIalpass and Mr.. f. Ellwood
Carpenter and Miss Helen Sanders with
Mr.. Norris Il. Henderson, Jr, Mr. Thomas
Cathcart also gave one of his inimitable
interpretations of Al Jolson.
