PROGRAM BY AMERICANIZATION
CLASSES IS DECIDED SUCCESS

Playing to an almost capacity au-
dience at the Wilson school last
night the initial entertainment; Civ
en- by the Americanization classes
under Miss Julia Wagner, proved a
decided success, and was received
with marked enthusiasm by those
present. Miss Wagner, the super
visor, and Nanoni, the instructor,
are to be congratulated upon their
success.
The opening number, a selection
by the Mexicali intermediate school
orchestra, composed of children be-
low high school age, under the di-
rection of Cruz Romero, won the
hearts of the audience at once. The
"human interest," element was
greatly increased BY n very small
boy, solemnly playing a very large
bass viol with concentration and
earnestness that was q delight, and
convulsed the audience.
All of the numbers offered were
universally good, and displayed Il
Very high order of talent, both in
dancing and singing. The dramatic
playlet, Lulu which followed
the orchestra selection was acted
with fine feeling and spirit, and
offered an opportunity for Nanoni
and Miss Bobbie Lorona to do Il
very effective dance.
Although all of the dancing was
excellent. perhaps premier honors in
this field were won by Miss Bobbie
Lorona and Miss Lois Dixie. Miss
Lorona danced the national dance
of Spain, with an abandon and
grace that delighted the audience,
and brought thunderous applause.
She possesses grace that might
well be envied by a professional
dancer. Miss Dixie, an American
girl, who presented Charleston
and an acrobatic dance has great
deal of talent and her offerings
We're highly appreciated by the spec
tators.
, Several Spanish songs and dances
were executed by chorus of at
tractive senoritas, whose vocal
harmony and rhythm was very
pleasing. Vanoni and Haro sang
humorous songs in Spanish, accom-
panied by Signor Vanoni on the
guitar, and although great per
centage of those listening could not
understand the words, the effect
was gained by the amusing manner
isms Of the pair.
\ high light in the program was
the presentation of the Argentine
tango, by three young couples. Per
haps no other dance is quite so typ
zeal of the Latins and offers bet
ter opportunity to display the grace
for which they are noted.
Ruben Dario displayed consider
able dramatic ability in "Detropi-
60, Spanish reading.
In addition to the numbers here
tofore mentioned, a small boy and
girl, Firpo and Alicia, danced the
quaint and charming "Jarabe Tia
Patio - the hat dance, which is con
sidered the national dance of Mex
leo.
Every offering was greeted with
enthusiasm bv the audience, and
would seem to auger well for any
future offerings from this group

which she expressed her thanks to
those who attended for their sup,
