arm and proceeded to the altar where
she met the man she had chosen and
standing before the man of God, she
pledged her troth to Mr.. Hamilton
Graves, Rev. W. W. Woodland saying
the sacred words that made them
truly one. With the broom was his
best man, Mr.. S. F. Kirk, of Memphis.

forest depth where wood nymphs meet
for play.
Recently the dancers appeared in
San Antonio. The following excerpt
from the Express gives an idea of
their work:
"a distinct and timely change of
musical fare came last evening with
the second concert of the Mozart
series, presenting the 1sadore Duncan
Dancers and George Copeland, pianist,
An audience that almost completely
filled Beethoven Hall raptarously and
continuously applauded the six lovely
Cruces who set forth the terpsichorean
feast while Mr.. Copeland aroused
demonstrations seldom accorded a
pianist by a San Antonio audience.
Recall followed recall and encores
were emphatically insisted upon. The
program remained at a standstill sew
eral times until Mr. Copeland returned
to play an extra number.
9TH program was divided into three
parts, part one Introducing Mr. Cope
land in the first movement of Mac
Dowelrs "Tragica' sonata, In which
he commanded an admiration which
increased with each hearing. An en-
semble number portraying excerpts
from Glucks opera Iphigenia in
Tauris,' offered the first vision of the
bewitching young dancers, Anna,
Theresa, Irma, Lisa. Margot and Erica,
in their graceful and expressive pos
ings. The audience was momentarily
transported to early Greece. where
music. heavenly maid. was young
THE second part of the program
consisted of a series of advertisements
to familiar and delightfully."- played
Chopin numbers.
These were performed individually
and afforded an encfsaating display of
seif-expression. Lisa in a dreamy noe
turne, Erica fluttering to the Butter
fly etude.s Theresa in a, graceful
n1azurka, Irma and Anna translatins
the beloved 'Minuet' waltz and Waltz
OPP. 10 no. II, into beautiful motion,
were a part of the joys of the evening.
THE generous program continued
with suite of Schubert waltzes, given
ensemble, which displayed the lovely
dancers in blithesome mood, each
more beguiling than the last while
the dancers from Gluek's Tphigenia
in Tauris' was a delineation of heroic
emotions
This short synopsis gives one only
a faint idea of the many beauties OF
this unique program. So enthusiastic
have been the various audiences who
have really seen the dancers, that
