in this city.
/ Mrs. Christian Hemmick. who has
arranged SO many artistic entertain
! ments at Washington, gave the
,fashionable circles of New York a
unique treat last week, when. at
the opening Of the. Hotel des
A rtistes auditorium. she presented
a series OF Kaleidoscope tableaux.
The series arranged and produced
by Mrs. Hemmick, an allegorical
pantomine of war. was quite the
most notable feature of the pro-
| gram. The cast included profess
sionals oe high standing. While
Mrs. Hemmick adheres to her con-
| viction that amateurs gave a fresh
ness and naivette to a performance,
she finds that professionals are
much more bidable and attentive,
and give far less work for the pro-
ducer, and upon whom they depend
with absolute confidence. which the
amateur does not.
Mrs. Hemmick is spending the
winter at New York. where she has
a studio apartment at the Hotel
| des Artistes.
