a dance drama much closer to
the company's youthful bloom.
An excerpt from Winnipeg's own
proud history, this might be, the
story of a young bride who first
embraces the freedom of the
prairie, then falls victim of its
terrifying loneliness.
This is perfectly in the compa-
ny'S idiom and is danced with a
sharp sense of it's highly colored
emotions. Two especially color
full principals were revealed in
this number. Carlu Carter (not
as programmed Josephine An
drewS) and Gordon Wales. as
the young bride and the hus-
band. The eloquent pantomime
carried through to the least
character in this ballet with
music by Robert Fleming and
decor by John w. Graham.
The single diverting flaw. il
one could be so churlish, was a
hayward Upper on the brides
costume which kept reminding
one spectator that ZipperS were
not a blessing of pioneers.

delight at a wondrous feat of

a bit of thought transference

Blackstone is a real old-time

His timing seemed a bit off now
and then last night and once or
twice he was betrayed by the
backstage preparation. But all

negroes who had been deprived of
a place to live by the recent dis

back anymore mice. roach or ant
huts in Vicksburg, but instead it will
gladly, on conditions, build decent
living quarters fit for housing A

by the f. H. A. should be SO COM

one could not guess the color of
the occupant until the door bell
is answered This alone should be
much encouraging to Negroes, al
though qualifying for such expen-
