JAPANESE DANCES SEEN
Mlchio Itow and Miss Tulle Lindall
Give Them at the Comedy

There was an afternoon Of what the
programme billed as Japanese Dances"
yesterday afternoon at the Comedy
Theatre. AS the music played was by
such very Japanese composers as
Tschaikowsky, Puccini, Saint-Saens,
Delibes and Chopin, it is evident that
the japanese was diluted. Michio Itow,
young japanese. gave half the dances
and Miss Tulle Lindall the other half
Mr.. Itow wore some picturesque cos
tunes and one terrifying makeup, and
pleased the audience nightly in fan
tastic dance TO the music of Delibes.
His gyrations were generally utterly
out Of keeping with the spirit of music,
but they possessed a certain exotic ap-
peal which may or may not have been
japanese. Miss Lindall was less in
teresting.

To do her justice Ortrude thought

Ortrude shone and sparSled in society

AFTER FREDDY GRAYTor made his ffrst
trip outside the park with such sue
cess, he went frequently on the same
journey. The neighborhood in which
he made his journey was a quiet
home neighborhood and as the

not a person or thing to disturb
him.

amazement. Whatever can you be

"Of my comfort these cold days"
laughed Freddy. "Of course would
hate to leave you, Jimmy, because
you are such a good friend, but I
