Charming 1921 Follies.

The pupils of Miss Ruth Dewitt
Tompkins reflected great credit on
their teacher at their charming 1921
Follies, each number showing in love-
ly details careful training and great
artistic temperament. The music of
Miss Elizabeth Smith, who is real
ly gifted young artist. was the finish
ing touch to the sprightly entertain
ment. Portland Fancy, danced by Vir-
ginia Holland, jamie Edwards, Esther
Rubenstein and Martha Stewart was
the echo of stately colonial days, the
graceful figures recalling the minuet,
ouadrille, and lancer of ye olden
days.
A French Lady danced by Mary
Cantelou was enhancing. In an ex-
quisite pink costume, carrying band
box, which ini exery detail suggested
fascinating, exclusive French shops,
appeared the little Parisienne. AS she
danced she daintily applied the pow
der puff and rouge, those mysteries of
treasured vanity trinkets,
finally taking from the silken box a
pink chapeau, which was the crown
ing point to the costume. The dance
was very artistic and was beautifully
rendered.
The Glow Worm, given by Esther
Rubenstein, delighted the apprecia-
tive audience. 1t seemed as though
the airy little figure in the pretty
green costume, was some fairy from
Titania's realm,l for her twinkling
feet scarcely touched the stage. Great
things are predicted for this talented
child's future who is the embodiment
of music.
Mary Marsh was charming in her
solo dance, The Vintage. Her dark
beauty was enhanced by an oriental
costume of vivid red, quantities of
beads adding a further far-east note.
1t was the story of the grape that RI
pens in the golden sunlight beneath
blue skies, and a basket of the lus-
cious fruit was suspended from the
dancers arm.
Floralma, with Mary Cantelou,
Martha Stewart, jamie Edwards and
Esther Rubenstein was memory of
classic Athens, the flowing Greek
robes and becoming bandeaus con-
fining the hair carrying out the period
details. This was a very pleasing num-
Der.
Chopin Waltz by Kathryn Stewart
was avery pretty solo dance, the trip
ping steps of the light fantastic MAX
ing the number much enjoyed.
Columbine Qui Flirte with jamie
Edwards and Martha Stewart as gal
liant little courtiers in white satin
suits with beruf1ed blouses and Mary
Cantelou, in an adorable lavender
hoop skirted frock, portraying the
ways of a cequette with her adoring
suitors, was a real treat.
Song, "I'm in Heaven When I'm
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1921-04-27

in Ny Mothers Arms" was sung by
pretty little Lucy Scurry.
The Witch's Dance by tiny Vir-
ginia Holland captivated the audi
ence. The quaint costume of witch
simply enhanced the winsome charm
of this dimpled baby, who succeeded
absolutely in bewitching every spec
tator.
After an intermission Martha
Stewards solodance, Simplicity came,
the little dancer rendering the pretty
dance with ease ard grace.
Troika was most unusual num-
Der, Russian fancy. Kathryn Stew
art drove with white silken ribbons
three spirited steeds, Esther Ruben
stein, jamie Edwards and Mary Can
telou. With consummate grace the diff
ficult dance was accomplished, a tri-
umph for pupils and teacher.
Lonesome, That's ALL" was sung
by Margaret Lyon, popular little
song bird.
Shadow Dance given by jamie. Ed
wards was exquisite, both as to cos
tune, rainbow-hued effect of point
ed ribbons, and as to the graceful
ness of the little soloist, who was as
elusive as ill-o'-the-wisp.
Esther Rubenstein was dear in her
graceful japanese Dance. Her cos
tune was the replica of the lovely
ones in the land of cherry blossoms
and the quaint steps were very pret-
tily executed.
Lucy Scurry, in dear little blue
dress sang sweetly "Alice Blue
Gown.
After the second intermission came
the dance Of the four winds: North,
Esther Rubenstein in yellow; South,
Mary Cantelou in blue; East, Kathryn
Stewart in pink and West, jamie Ed
wards in red. The swiftness, the gen.
tleness, the wrecklessness, the tame
ness of the winds that father from
the four great points of the compass
entered into this dance, contributing
to the uniqueness.
That Naughty Waltz as danced by
the baby star, Virginia Holland, was
precious.
jamie Edwards in the Blue Bird
Dance was a picture. Setting off her
white frock, worn with blue ribbons
and gold slippers were two gilded
cages, which she gracefully balanced
during her solo dance:
Narga,a peasant dance, rendered
by Mary Cantelou, dance of real
merit and beauty, completed the pro-
gram which had, from the beginning,
to the end proven most wonderful
success.
Flowers were lavished on all the lit
tie stars who so delightfully."- carried
out this program.
TheCivic League is deeply indebted
to Miss Tompkins, her beautifully
trained pupils and to Miss Smith as
pianist, for producing the Follies
for it's benefit. The proceeds will go
for the different undertakings of the
League due to the generosity of this
talented young teacher whose art is
a delight to all Edgefeld.

Count Your Blessings.

The splendid sermon which was de-
livered by DR.. C. E. Burts in Edge
field Sunday morning is said to have
been worth thousands of dollars to
sthose who heard it, making optimists
instead of pessimists of his hearers.
After urging the people, business
men particularly, to face present con-
;ditions bravely, he urged that we
forget our losses, quit thinking Of
what we once had and consider what
we now have--dwell not upon what
we have lost, but rather upon what
we have left.
Think of how many bales of cotton
you have-true, it isn't worth much
z but you have it. Think of broad acres
of land which under the sunshine or
rainfall of the southland will produce
(. almost any crops. Think of your val
liable forests that afford fuel and
timber for every need of the farm
Think of your milk cows that bear a
:goodly part of the family support
and the faithful mules and horses
that are not subject to punctures
and blow-outs. Think of the sweet as
sociation of loved ones and the
friends without number. Think of the
splendid health that has been enjoyed
iby the family almost without inter
ruption for months and years. Thinl
of the wonderful possibilities that lie
ahead of us, our future being what
ever, practically, we choose to make
it. If you will let your blessings pas
in review, you will be ashamed of the
ingratitude which you. have practicet
by brooding over the losses of tht
past.

MOVIES IN YOUR HOME.

Soon you may have movies in your own home
The invention of a moving picture disc has
been announced, by the use of which movie
pictures may be shown on a screen In the nome
lust as easily, as records are played on the
photograph.
The claim is made that a 12-inch disc carries
enough pictures on it's surface to be equivalent
to the length of the standard film, 300 feet, this
being made possible through the use OF the
microscopic lens in the taking.
The story runs that the projecting machine
will cost the home owner about $2b, as against
the monographs 800 or more. And the movie
records are expected to retail at a dollar OF
less. There may be wonderful possibilities IN
the idea, with millions of people having their
movies sent in rather than going out to the pal
aces. And think of what a boon this invention
will bring to thousands of places where there
is no such thing as a nearby movie show.

the Good Shepherd who left his
ninety and nine sheep in the wilder
ness and went after the n that was
lost. OF course he did not leave the
ninety and nine wholly unprotected;
he left them in care of a boy. or an
under-shepherd. But he took a risk,
and he knew it.
Frankly, the-one lost sheep was
NOT worth the effort. 1t would have
been more business-like to have
written off the book value of tina
sheep, with whatever satisfaction a
man may feel in the knowledge that
his loss is only 1 per cent.
