STANDS EN- UP
AT CABARET
Ball Gay and Colorful,
With Clever Entertain
ment Features
Continued from Page g.


Miss Betsy. Mary Robinson and
Miss Katherine Carlisle contrib
uted a surprise. Besides an en-
gaging dance their number in
cluded a musical advertisement,
with Miss Carlisle at a cottage
piano and Miss Betsy Mary Robin
SON playing solemnly upon saw.
1t was pleasant music, too, espe-
cially "Under an April Moon"
composed by Mrs. William D.
Thomas, joint chairman with Mrs.
BENJAMIN Holcombe of the enter
tainment committee for the bali.
Mrs. Charles McVay's Hawaiian
dance was done-and well done-in
the familiar grass skirt and flow
cry leis; and Mrs. Chauncey
Parker, jr., president of the Junior
League, and Nine. Won Selzam pre-
sented their lovely Viennese waltz
in costumes of the Second EN-
pire..
Nine. van Selzam's gown was
yellow satin, with widely flounced
skirts, and Mrs. Parker's of crisp
white tulle.

NKISS PETERS danced again
AV1 with a masked partner, and
Miss Katherine Wilkins and Miss
Louise Spencer put on a Dutch
dance, evidently automatically cos
TUNED, which had both grace and
humor. But the hit of the eve-
a..
Night Club by Miss Olyve Graef
and Marion Law--the only num-
Der followed by an encore. Miss
Graef has the true comic gift,
enhanced by her outrageously
bedizened costume of white tulle
and black feathers. Mr.. Law, too,
is funny and the scene por-
trayed was hilarious. As an en-
core a little girl and little boy
number was presented. Benjamin
Holcombe was master Of cere-
monies for the cabaret.
The programs, in their Nalen-
tine covers, were artistic and
must have been highly profitable,
for they were filled with adver-
tisements, most of them illus
trated by photographs of mem.
bers of the Junior League.
