MISS TOMPKINS DANCES
AT SAN CARLOS HOTEL.

A delightful new feature was in
troduced by the management Of the
San Carlos Hotel last night when
Miss Gladys Tomplkims appeared in
two solo dances for the entertain
ment Of the diners
The table in the dining room had
been pushed over towards the west
side in order to leave a clear space,
and here Miss Toanpl1ins appeared at
about nine o'clock In a ballet called
Puff" which was a beautiful ex-
ample Of high art work.
This little Mobile dancer, who has
come to help entertain the guests
at the San Carlos Hotel for the win
ter season, is sure to win a place for
herself very quickly in the hearts Of
the Pensacola people, for her dane
ing is as airy and graceful as one
would naturally expect from a pupil
of the great Alviene Of New York,
and added to this she has a wonder
fully winning personality.
At about 1880 she was again seen
by the diners in an original barefoot
dance. "The Flatterer,' for which
she wore a dress Of wierd black silk
net, with rhinestone trimmings on a
velvet bodice. With this costume
she also wore a wide brimmed,
crownless, net hat, with a cut brim
coquettishly turned back at both
sides in front, and a large black bow
and streamers hanging from it be-
hind. Something else which attract
ed considerable attention was the
large black French mole which she
had placed on the back Of her neck.
This barefoot ballet dancing is
quite the newest thing in New York
dancing circles, and Miss Tompl1ins
proved herself quits as adept in this
lighter work as she had been in the
more conventional French ballet in
which she appeared earlier in the
evening.
