ART PAR EXCELLENT

Embryo artistes, every one" was
the audible comment as the final cur
tain set on Miss Virginia Darrow's
dancing pupils, presented in her first
recital at the Rhode Opera House on
Monday evening. It was fine recital
in every detail There was not bor-
ing moment nor were there any Of the
painful pauses usually attendant upon
recital Of amateurs If Miss Dar-
row had not had circle of admirers
before last evening she would have
Immediately won recognition, not
only for the success which she has
had in teaching Kenosha youngsters,
but also for her ultra artistry in
the valse classique, the finale Of an
excellent and varied program.
Miss Constance Upright.
Miss barrow is also to be congrat-
ulated upon securing Miss Constance
Upright of the Chicago Musical Col
lege as solo dancer. Miss Upright
was superb. She danced from the tips
Of her toes to the crown Of her head.
Every line Of her body was indicative
Of the most expressive fnesse. She
was excellent as "Spring" and in the
Frenchily attractive Offering LA
Vogue" but it was as the Gypsy Beg
gar' that she won round after round
of applause. She threw herself into
the wild abandon of the dance, dis
playing all the beauty and old-world
charm of wandering people who
bridge the gap between darkest
despair and the heights Of JOY in one
ecstatic moment.
Recital Was Different"
Clever innovations differentiated the
recital from the stereotyped perform
ance. The opening scene showed Lois
Kolpin, Valentine Burt, Julia Deffry,
Doris Reith, Florence Holt and Elaine
Wiesner, asleep in dream awakening
world. Miss Upright, as Spring" ac-
complished the awakening Of Spring
In particularly attractive ensemble
effect The second number presented
little Eileen Carey ''In Rose Garden"
Miss Eileen also appeared with Lor-
raine Thelen in Powder Puff and
Looking Glass" Miss Lorraine was
the personifcation of the daintiest
powder puff which ever graced Milady's
table Miss Eileen was a perfect
courtier in her satin suit, tri-cornered
hat and lacy stock. Miss Lorraine
also gave the Bye-LoDolly." Janice
Gozen in a quaint old-fashioned frock
did "Couquetterie." Miss Sara Walsh
danced the Highland Fling and later
appeared in the lifting "Valse Bleue."
Novelty Offerings.
A distinct novelty was the Nursery
Rhymes" by Muriel Norrie, who with
her Mother Goose frock and perky bow
recited the favorites of childhood with
dancing accompaniment. Miss Valen-
tine Burt danced album" 1t was as
"Alcibiadies JONES'" with Lois Kolpin
as "Lindy Lee" that she captivated the
audience. The two were the most cum
ming little "pickanninnies" north Of
the Mason-Dixon line. Miss Kolpin,
who also gave Peoples" danced as
lightly as a thistle borne by summer
wind. In Miss Elaine Wiesner, who
gave, "a Beggar,p and Meditation"
(Thais), was another exponent in
the value of expression not only in
face and supple body.
Toe Dancers Are Excellent.
Miss barrow presented group OF
clever toe dancers. Miss Julia Deffry
gave Eccentric Dance" and 'Papillion'
and "Valsette"; Miss Florence Holt
danced the "Valse Mignonne," and
"Valse Caprice" and Miss Marguerite
Roll \
"Nose Gay" Each Of the three dem
onstrated marked aptness and dis
tinct grace. Miss Darlene Wilcox was
most adorable Quaker Girl"; Miss
Evelyn Burt breathed the exotic spirit
Of the east in her "Oriental Dance;
Miss lone Stoneman, in panteletted
hoop-skirt and poke bonnet daintily
danced "Novelloza"; and Miss Doris
Reith gave the "Momen Musicale"
Anticipate Other Recitals.
Miss barrow has been in Kenosha
for only a short time She is a grad
uate of the Chicago Musical College
and was formerly connected with the
Kenosha Grand Conservatory Of Music.
@he now maintains a studio at S61
Sheridan road. 1t is to be hoped that
these recitals characterized by artistry
and beautiful scenic effects will be re-
peated often in the future.
