SEES
GOOD IN HAND
OF FELLOWSHIP
Gives Praise to System of
Making Church Visitor
Feel at Home.
ro the Editor Of the mines /:

To the Editor Of the Times:
I saw the story in the Times Of
strangers visit to the Hall Place NJ. 3.
Church and that the moment he entered
the church he was extended the glad
hand of fellowship and given a welcome
that made him feel he was no longer
stranger in that church.
That Is just what is wrong with our
churches today. They are not giving
out that good old grasp Of fellowship
and the warm greeting that 1t takes to
bring strangers into the church. Once
in the church let them have that good
hand Of fellowship and throw out the
life line to them. See how soon they
will grab 1t and be willing to be pulled
out Of the depths and listen to such
words as Have faith in God"
How many on their way to church on
Sunday morning pass strangers who look
as If they had nowhere to go? Maybe
if some one would extend some stranger
a glad hand and ask him into his Bible
class 1t would be a good way to get
him into the church. A good, old grasp
Of the hand and a good word of encour-
agement is worth more than money to
the down and-Out man. For instance,
there was a poor fellow right here in
my community who was charged with
technical crime about a year ago He
was proved innocent. Did any one from
any Of our churches out here ever ex-
tend him the glad hand Of fellowship?
No, not one. Did any one ever ask him
into their Bible class? No, not one. Did
the ministers ever offer him the gland
hand and say, Come over in our Bible
class?' No.
Let every church give that good grasp
Of fellowship that the Hall Place n. E.
Church gave the stranger on March 10.

HOME FOLK WELCOME RUTH PAGE
With FIoIUers and Applause at Murat Last Night
By WALTER d. HICKMAN

There Is no place like home after all.
Miss Ruth Page, daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. Lafayette Page of this city, must
have realized that last night when she
returned to the Murat with AdOlph BOlm
as her dancing partner and with Carlos
Salzedo, harpist, in a dance and harp
recital under the auspices of The Matinee
Musicale
As an artist, Miss Page improves season
after season. Her appearances in New
York and other cities and her sincere
study and work have had a telling effect
not only upon the artistry of Miss Page
but upon her personality as well.
She now possesses an interpretative
touch which has as its chief element the
sureness Of touch and control. Dancing
Of the nature presented by Miss Page is
neither a gift nc~ luck. The spark Of
genius must be thee, but it must be
famed into an all consuming flame by
hard work. strict study and careful liv
ing.
The quality Of her work was best re-
Elected in Spanish Rhythm" with Mr..
Bolm. In this dance we saw the gh
lights OF her dance expression. The sure
ness of touch was there. The movement
OF the body nestled close to the melody
which was played by an accompanist at
the piano. More colorful was the ex-
preston in The Poisoned Flower" a
Siamese legend. One of the novelty num-
bers was The Chick" the title explain
ing the idea Of the dance. Although the
number The Maid, with the Flaxen
Hair" was brief affair, it added to the
interpretative ability of Miss Page.
= Flowers, many OF 'em, went over the
foot lights and the house was filled with
applause and good wishes-real sincerity
on the part of Miss Pages home folk.
The program as presented last night
at no time exhausted either the range
OF Miss Page or Mr. Bolm as no ballet
was presented. Mr.. Bolm gave US occa-
sional flashes Of real lnterpretative fire
in "Nymph and Satyr," Armenian
Dance" and "Segidilla."
Carlos Salzedo opened the evening with
two popular French folk songs on the
harp. He is a splendid artist, but not
over gracious in the matter OF playing en-
core selections. He also directed the or
chestra during the dance program and
If l am not mistaken presided at the
piano during some Of the numbers. A
local orchestra was used last night.
Because no ballet was presented all Of
the dancing was done by Miss Page and
Mr.. Bolm. Each had several solo num-
bers and at times opportunity was given
for both to appear together.
Personally, l wish that both dancers
had a ballet with them so that heavier
numbers could have been presented II
is tremendous task and a dangerous
one for any two artists in dance to
present complete dancing program. A
ballet lends color and opportunity. But
1t was Ruth Page night last night at the
Murat and the audience wanted Miss
Page
And so Indianapolis people were glad
that Miss Page was on the stage so
often.

OF this city to the efforts Of the Matt
