From the twinkling toes Of the
finest star to the patriotic en-
Semble Of the finale, the Spring
Kermess," offered by the pupils of
Miss Estelle Murray at the Carroll
Hall Wednesday night, was huge
success from start to finish.
To begin with, the May ball offer
ing Of fifty-three numbers was over
In two and one-half hours, an un-
heard-of feat in most dancing school
circles.
Miss Murray herself, songbird
star of the st. Patrick Players. de-
lighted the audience by singing old
fashioned songs in an old-fashioned
costume Of charming daintiness.
Headline First of Bill.
Co-starring with their teacher,
Bertha Letvin, billed as the Tip.

yellow flame of good action, head.
lined the first part of the bill.
Baby Audrey Durity, vision Of
red vampishness, aged three, sang
Dream Daddy" with accent strong
on the Daddy, a word evidently very
familiar to her. Mary Bowles. in a
butterfly dance, and Margaret
Rapee. as Filtration. gave examples
Of rare grace.
Dorothy Shugrue in a jazz num-
Der, furnished the trick dancing Of
the second part Of the bill and gives
promise Of being a clever performer
Tragedy Ann and Raggedy Andy"
done by Miss Letvin and Arthur
Murray, portrayed clever direction
and execution.
To Laurence Rapee go the honors
Of the most graceful young master
Of dance. His Russian number was
q thing of grace and excellence far
beyond his size and years.
The Pierrot and Pierette number
was a delightful little fantasy. The
midshipmites was a number bound
to be an entirely new idea in naval
circles. The tots who danced it were
darlings, but no ship could ever
cross the ocean in safety manned
by them.
The tiny stars in this number
were: Helen Gallagher, Flora Blu
menthal, Frances Seebold, Audrey
Durity, Rosemary Nealon, Grace
Lewis and Elizabeth German.
The final patriotic ensemble
chorus done to "The Stars and
Stripes Forever was an inspiration
including Bertha Letvin, Mary Elsie
Stuart, Fay Moler, George Frederick
Boyd. Lee Bailey, Caroline Reece,
Miriam Hartnett, Gertrude Padgett,
Laurence Rapee, Margaret Rapee,
Dorothy Shugrue and lone Moler.
