MISS RAMBO'S RECITAL
IAN ARTISTIC SUCCESS

Those who were present at Miss
Regina Rambo's recital of Interpre-
tative Dancing and Expression on
last Friday evening enjoyed the
most artistic spectacle ever present
| ed to a Marietta audience. Of the
programme consisting of 81 num-
bers it was difficult to choose the
star as each pupil acquitted herself
so creditably.
There were charming little solo duo
and group dances, furnishing va
riety of subjects and an opportunity
for expressing wide range of emo
ton. The music ETC., all classical.
Helen Dumas, at piano.
The programme opened with a
fantastic little Goblin dance with
appropriate costumes of woodsy
greens and yellows Then followed
solo dance by Miss Lois Gardner,
interpreted most gracefully. Miss
Rambo's Spanish dance was full of
| vivacity and her beautiful costume
of black and orange created a Span
ish atmosphere.
Every one was charmed with
little Alice Dewar's interpreta-
ton of Bird Play in a cum
ming little costume. Miss Sa-
rah Wood Granting showed dra-
matte talent in her portrayal of
Narcissus. One does not need to
be a critic to appreciate the beauti-
full technique of the Rondo Capric-
cioso as danced by Miss Rambo. TIL.
audience was completely captivated
by LIE Secret dance by Nancy Bos-
ton, M. L. Brumby, Ida Belle Hunt,
and Lucy Tate and the Wood
Nympn and the Bird by Lucy Cole
was very attractive.
In the Statue Miss Rambo por-
trayed in a very realistic way the
change of a beautiful piece of sculp-
ture to life and again returning to
the statue. The Baccahanall inter
pretating the autumn spirit was
given with joyous revelry by ten
of the large girls. In a quaint lit
tie costume and waite hair M. L.
Brumby charmed with the Co.
quette. Perhaps the most piouant
number on the programe was the
Love of Pierrot and Pierrette by
Miss Rambo and Lucy Cole. Their
costumes Of black and white were
relieved by the flaming red rose
given to Pierrot by Pierrette. With
vivid rose scarf Constance Copper
showed real talent in her interpre-
tation of the Scarf Dance
One sees an artist in the making
when they see the poise and grace
of Ida Belle Hunt. In costumes
OF draped white satin trimmed with
silver leaves the pupils carrying
wreaths of morning glories were
exquisite in the moonlight of the
Barcarolle. The tableau following
was a fitting climax.
There were interesting readings
given with poise and charm of
more experienced reader by Miss IS
Mary Bird and Lucy Tate and Mary
Holland. Miss Rambo showed an
unusual side of the negro character
in Lucky jim.
Life studies by Miss Rambo and
M. L. Brumby We're especially en-
joyable
The setting of the stage repre-
scented a pergola over which cham
bered and hung vines neavy with
bright hued morning glories The
cOlored electric and flood lights es-
pecially put in for the occasion, fur
nished wonderful light effect, were
efficiently managed by the stage
electrician, Miss Emma May Ram

Tne wonderful progress made by
the pupils under Miss Rambo's in
struction shows how thorough she
is in her instruction and how well
qualified she is to teach as she has
spent most of her life studying the
arts, music, expression, all of which
combined with a pliable body are
required to render the art of Inter
pretative Dancing in it's highest de-
gree, Atlanta is the only place in
the south where this art as it should
be is taught and Marietta is most
