hacked the Grand theatre to
he children of Mrs. Ralph
whites dancing classes In "The
n.ttorflies' ball" Those who

.iro work was done by the older
shildren who danced, but probab-
~ tbe ones that everyone consid-
orad the very most enhancing
wera the tiny little ones who only
rocently have mastered the diff

unconscious of seven hundred on
lockers as they are of one and ev-
erv graceful movement is a poem.

eat ones flocked out in the fourth
number as brownies in little
brown suits and colored caps.
They danced about like sprites and

Teed. was real cave man as he
led for his wee wife, Priscilla
walsh, in her fluffy ballet Dress;

Jug" His voice was very small,
hut his smile was large and the
audience really didn't know what
he was singing about because they
applauded all the time.

gold silk and a coronet topping
her golden hair did the dance of
the Sun Princess very gracefully.

dress was charming. The evening
opened with a spring morning
dance by Margaret White, Valerie

sci caps.
