WOMAN And CHILD
SERIOUSLY HURT
In GAS EXPLOSION
Faulty Connection Cause of
Blast Which Partly DemOl-
ishes Teeter Home.

a faulty gas connection in the
home OF NJ. Teeter. 745 18th St.
River Park, resulted in an explosion
which seriously injured Lorene Ersk-
ridge, aged five years. and Mrs. NJ.
Teeters and practically demolished
the rear part Of the house about 2
o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The
blast came shortly after Mrs. Teeter
had sighted the gas stove in the
kitchen.
The little girl suffered a broken
leg and was internally injured as
part of the mass of flying wreckage
struck her, while Mrs. Teeters re-
ceived injuries about the body and
painful bruises about the face. The
child VISA removed TO the Ct Joseph
hospital. Mishawaka. IN the police
ambulance, while Mrs. Teeters was
attended 10 at a neighbor's home.
The gas pipe, which had just been
installed by workmen, II is said. had
a 1O-inch slit. and this defect in the
piping is said 10 have been the direct
cause Of the explosion. Both Mrs.
Teeters and the little girl were a
short distance from the stove when
the blast occurred
Part OF House Demolished.
The interior of the rear end of
the residence was demolished, the
windows Of the house being blown
from their frames and the furniture
blasted 10 small pieces. That the
two persons escaped instant death,
neighbors say, is a miracle.
The men who had installed the
gas line had only left the residence
81 few minutes before the explosion
took place. Mrs. Teteers had struck
a match to the stove with the inten-
ton OF heating the kitchen, and the
blast followed.
The sound Of the explosion at
tracted the attention of residents
nearby and in less than two minutes
several neighbOrs came to the rescue
of the two victims. They were car
ried into the house next door, and
DR.. A. l.. Knapp was called TO dress
their injuries.
Upon his arrival, DR.. Knapp i'm
mediately called the police ambu-
lance at South Bend and the little
girl was taken to the Mishawaka
hospital
At a late hour last night both OF
the victims were reported to be rest
ing easily, although both were said
to be still in a very nervous condi-
ton.

And Versatility
Please Audience
Large Company of Skilled
Dancers Presented by Star
In Her Ballet Russo.

The stage in semi darkness. a soft
blue glow casting shadows on the
folds Of the bronze draperies, the
poignant voice Of the cello pouring
out the falling cadences OF St. Saens'
enhancing melody, and then a vision
of white, floating here and there in
measures Of infinite grace-this is
Pavlowa as the Swan. A few more
measures of the stately movement
and then. crumpling, the Swan lies
dead, as glorious in death as grace
full in life.

OF art which lies in the borderlands
OF music. poetry and the drama and
mingles the three IN delightful pro
portion. The audience, II not as
numerous as the house might have
accommodated, was thoroughly az
preciative. calling back the dancers
time and again for repeated &C
acknowledgements Of its applause.
Presents large Company.
Nine. PavlOwa presented a large
company of skilled and graceful
dancers in the Ballet Russo and was
chiefly supported by Laurent NOvi-
koff and Hilda ButsOva. Pavlowa
herself revealed the versatility OF
her art in the Fairy Doll ballet and
in the advertisements which closed
the program. Swaying. swirling and
fluttering like a snowdrop and Gid
ing on tip-toe with a scarcely per-
ceptible motion she held the audi
ence in such embrace that il was
loathe to permit her TO leave the
stage.
Her partner, NovikOff, too, reveal
ed an almost startling versatility,
now appearing with all the ease
and grace of classic reTose and
shortly negotiating the most intri-
cate steps Of the Russian dance with
lightning speed and agility. Hilda
Butsova, who appeared in fully as
many solo dances as the star her
self, was quite as thoroughly appre-
ciated for her work, which was
marked by a breezy impetuosity and
exceeding grace. Others Of the

"COppelia' Opens Program.
The fanciful ballet "COppelia, "
with the music by Leo Delibes, open
ed the program. Peasants dancing
on the village sward, clicking their
boots in the dashing measures Of
the Czardas; clever little bits of
mimicry IN love making. advances,
repulses and final surrender Of the
fair lady-these things enhanced the
interest and Diversion OF "Coprelia"
The characters in the Fairy Doll
the second Of the balletS might have
stepped out of the story books; there
is good reason for the popularity OF
this ballet as indicated by the ap-

Altogether 1t was entertainment OF
a type which South Bend has only
rare opportunities of enjoying and
which in consequence Il enjoys more
keenly when the occasion offers.
