dancing, youth. grace and beauty
The Spring Recital by the pupils OF
Rosanna Odiorne Friday evening at
the City hall was treasure trove Of
all that. A goodly number of fond
mamas and papas. relatives other
wise and friends, gathered to see the
children dance. And 1t was a good
two hours Of dances Aovel, and
dances appealing. which were offered
to them. The variety Of the program
was its browning feature and the
children were certainly a big credit
to their teacher, Mrs. Odiorne.
Each dance was a refreshing bit OF
tribute to Terpsichore, which might
one dance which the children pre-
scented was like any other on the
program.
Dainty little Christine Hanson,
CARRIED in a silver gray costume was
Quicksilver in "Pandora's Box" On
her tiny heels were silver wings and
on her jaunty hat were more wings.
But it didn't seem as IL she needed
! them, because she was as light as
| thistledown. In lilac and green was
little Miss Dorothy Whiting as
, Epimetheus. She was just as dis
consulate as the story dance de-
manded and she was just as gay, also
| in turn. And Pandora was wee slip
Of a girl in bright green. none other
than little Miss Jeanette Nelson.
She was grace personifled. A viva
cious little trouble was Mis- Grace
Shaw, dressed in fiery red. who
pranced about madly and proceeded
to brighten all the children. Golden
haired and golden gowned was the
delightful ray Of Hope. Miss jeanne
/ Ryan. 1t was her duty in the dance
to bring happiness once more into
the garden. 1t was Joy to see her
dance about and it all came out
alright in the end, as the story book
reads.
And who should appear next on the
scene but no other than Barney
Google of comic picture fame. De-
Royce Eastman was the laughable
character, dressed in long white
pants, derby hat and all. With him
were Misses Queenie Folsom and
Edna Spearin, wearing pretty
dresses of pink and yellow. They
sang and they danced and met with
great favor with the audience. Their
dance, of the eccentric type, was
highly amusing.
bits of Sunshine" was after all.
the only name that could be applied
to the two golden CARRIED girls,
Misses Emily Louise Lippincott and
Adeline Fearebay. One was dark
and the other was light and they pre-
scented a most attractive picture as
they went through the steps Of their
Joyous dance. Their long curls were
like long rays of sunshine, almost,
darting here and there.
Vivacious, sure of step and grace
! full withal, was Miss Lillian Meal
lister in her Hussar dance. Her lit
tie coat was bright green and so
were her trousers. Her hat was
high and green and was decorated
with a white pom-pom. In her
hand she carried a sword which she
used to good advantage in inter-
preting her dance. She ended her
dance with very graceful and ath-
letic stunt, which called forth rounds
of applause.
Misses Winifred and Hazel Shaw
! danced YOUTH" and they were de-
| lightfully refreshing in their crispy
white dresses, full and fluffy, gar
lands Of roses at their waists and
each carrying a dainty blue basket
filed with more flowers. Their dance
was waltzy and very graceful.
Chinese Love Song" a pantomine
dance, was most amusingly portrayed
by Miss Louise Hillman as the maid
! Stanley McCurdy as the man and
Charles Kinsman, Jr.. as the irate
| father. The maid was coy and cum
ming in her Chinese" suit of rose
and her hat to match. The man wore
green and was topped by Chinese
wig. Father was stern enough in
yellow, with long whiskers and a
most determined way. With then
! little fingers in the air and their lit
tie heads a-wagging, they danced
out the story. 1t was chop-suey and
rice and incense and everything. but
1ather had softening of the heart and
decided to give his consent that the
two lovers should go down to the
corner for an ice cream soda. But
lie went with them.
Ia Papillon" was danced by Miss
Marion Smith. dainty miss who
displayed marked ability as toe
| dancer. Her ballet costume was yell
low and deeper yellow and her wing;
were green with. golden dots. To an
appealing tune. the gay butterfly
| danced.
king Tut Strut" was presented
by Misses Polly Sturtevant and
