Midst setting of springtime love-
lness, and with the charm and SIM
plicity of childish gaiety and grace,
Miss Dorothy Gray presented her
fourth annual spring recital at City
nall Friday evening before an audi
ence whose unstinted applause and IA

tations to the talent and ability ex-
hplted. Miss Gray possesses a Sc
cret way whereby she imparts to her
pupils hSr own share and daintiness

ability, tact and patience she brought
to her pupils. from the tiniest tot to
the most talented dancer the glory of
one of the most lavish and complete
exhibitions ever presented in this city.
City hall auditorium had been chang
ed from its usual plain interior to a
veritable garden plot of floral beauty.
Grapes of wisteria hung In a profusion
of color along the balconies, while
vines of morning glories, laden with
blossoms in all shades of natures COL
orings, wound their twisting way up
the supporting columns. Lights shone
dreamily through delicate shades of
crepe paper hangings. Flowering pot
ted plants adorned the windows, made
attractive by graceful drapings of del
icately tinted crepe paper hangings.
The orchestra enclosure gave the
pleasing impression of an old-fash-
toned garden fence, the white palings
ornamented with Grapes of wisteria
blooms, while at the rear of the hall
the patrons and patronesses were
seated in a white-laticed booth, the
top Of each post bearing bowl of
spring flowers. Refreshments were
served from wisteria-trimmed booth
in a corner of the hall near the stage.
Original Conception
The arrangement of the program
was most pleasing the first part being
unlike most recitals, in that instead of
speciality numbers by each pupil It
carried a well-defined theme calling
for most realistic stage setting and
much real acting on the part of the
youthful performers. The story, ar
ranged and COMPOSED by Miss Gray,
was that of a little girl walking In her
garden, and in her wanderingS discov-
ering a most wonderful rainbow span
ned across the sky. She had been told
of the old legend regarding the pot of
gold to be found at the foot of a rain
bow by those who go in search, and
this she decided to do, and the inter-
probation of her many adventures and

PRODUCTION to an evening of unlimited
pleasure.
